SANDPOINT — The NAMI Far North (National Alliance on Mental Illness) regular monthly meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 , at 5:30 pm in the old Bonner General Health classroom (classroom next to cafeteria), 520 N 3rd Ave, Sandpoint.

NAMI Far North will host Dr. Mark William Cochran, an award-winning author and speaker, as well as a practicing holistic chiropractor. Dr. Mark will be speaking on “Understanding Your Healing Journey”. In his own life, Dr. Mark has traveled healing journeys with severe arthritis and more recently, cancer.

In this presentation, Dr. Mark will show us how our health challenges can present some very special gifts — if we allow ourselves to receive them.

Everyone is welcome. 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! Learn about NAMI Far North and what we can do together in Idaho.
