Research has demonstrated that people living with severe psychiatric conditions may have an increased risk of heart disease and related conditions. For this reason NAMI has designed the Hearts and Minds program:

The purpose of the program is to raise awareness and provide information on: diabetes, diet, exercise, and smoking. The program also includes basic information on addictions, recovery, stigma, and treatment. Along with information on diabetes and sleep apnea, Hearts & Minds contains tips for exercise, diet -- including a shopping list template, recipes, and a food diary.
