Hearts+Minds Lunch & Learn Session 4

Connect. Grow. Discover the Value of YOU.

Join NAMI Mississippi for a Hearts+Minds Lunch & Learn exploring how meaningful connections and personal strengths can support both mental and physical wellness.

We’ll explore the powerful role of social and peer support in overall health and discover practical ways to strengthen connections, reduce isolation and work toward wellness goals together.

We’ll also bring the Hearts+Minds journey together by focusing on The Value of YOU - recognizing that wellness is personal and can be shaped by your unique beliefs, interests and preferences. Participants will explore ways to customize healthy habits and use everyday sources of wellbeing - including social connection, spirituality, animal companionship, music, humor and laughter - to support whole-person health.

• Recognize the connection between social support and mental and physical health and identify ways to reduce isolation and loneliness.
