NAMI Far North

NAMI Far North Dedicated to improving the lives of individuals living with mental illness. We do not have a meeting in December.

NAMI Far North was organized to serve those impacted by mental illness in Bonner and Boundary Counties of Idaho – the northernmost counties in the state. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons living with serious mental illness and for their families and friends. We invite those living in Bonner and Boundary Counties in Idaho to join us in our efforts. Our monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), 1325 Pine St., Sandpoint, ID. The meetings, which are held at 5:30pm, generally have a brief business meeting which is followed by a speaker on a subject that is noted on our monthly calendar. The last hour is generally devoted to a NAMI Connection Support Group meeting and a Family Support Group meeting.

LET’S GET CRAFTY DEC. 11TH 1-3pm- HOLIDAY CARD MAKING

Help us send some extra warmth to the patients at State Hospital North in Orofino. We’re putting together a gift box filled with cozy hats (courtesy of Sandpoint Larson’s), socks, and chapstick- and we want to top each gift with a cheerful, handmade card.

Join us at Marigold Café from 1–3 p.m. to decorate cards, sip something warm, and spend time with good people for a great cause. No artistic talent required—just your willingness to show care. Let’s fill every gift with a personal, encouraging message for each resident.
