Townsend to talk at NAMI meeting

SANDPOINT — Debra Townsend of Sandpoint Community Resource Center will be speaking at September NAMI Far North meeting.

The meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at the Bonner General Health classroom.

SCRC, a volunteer 501(c) (3) non-profit, has the unique mission of linking people with needed social services in Bonner and Boundary counties. The group coordinates with the local service community, volunteers and organizations as resource advocates for those they serve. It is their goal to be a highly visible presence in the community so that everyone in need of services will call or stop by to receive a friendly and knowledgeable response and referral.

Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting. If you are living with mental illness, are a family member or are a friend of someone with mental illness, this meeting is for you.
