Independent living

Gaining more independence can be exciting. And a bit scary. But there are helpful things you can do no matter how you define independence for yourself. Making a safety plan, building a daily routine, learning about housing options, and knowing when you’re not feeling quite right are some of the things to help you get more organized. Be sure to download these resources to get more ideas about living independently and what to do to get there.

Physical health and nutrition

Everyone knows about the importance of diet and exercise. But for people living with schizophrenia, it can be hard. Medications may cause weight gain, or make you feel sleepy or unmotivated. These aren’t uncommon side effects. Being active and having a good diet are important. They’re key ingredients for your overall well-being. That’s why we’ve made these resources available to you. A simple routine with movement, healthy eating, and rest can really make a difference. Learn more below.
