SANDPOINT — This year's Leadership Sandpoint class is determined to help the local National Alliance on Mental Illness chapter gain its Sand Creek Clubhouse.
Leadership Sandpoint, a Greater Sandpoint Chamber program, is supporting NAMI Far North for its annual fundraising projects to support the launch of the new Sand Creek Clubhouse.
Serious mental illness accounts for 5-6% of the population, which translates to one in 20 people. In Bonner and Boundary counties, approximately 4,000 community members suffer from serious mental illness, including schizophrenia, bipolar disease, and severe PTSD, among others. These debilitating diseases interrupt a person's life, and negatively impact their relationships as well as their sense of purpose and employment.
