| SANE’s new ‘Mind and Body’ Initiative aims to draw attention to the
physical health needs of people with a mental illness . . . and the
mental health needs of people with chronic physical health problems. In
other words, encouraging treatment of the whole person. Components of
this Initiative so far include:

and develop resources promoting regular physical health check-ups for
people affected by mental illness.
