We all know about the importance of taking care
of our health, for example, eating right,
getting enough sleep, and exercising. Healthy
habits positively influence how a person feels
and how their body functions.
But good health involves not only caring for our
body, but also our mind.
This May is Mental Health Month. NAMI Far North,
the Bonner and Boundary County affiliate to the
National Alliance on Mental Illness, is raising
awareness of the role mental health plays in our
lives, and providing tips and resources so
anyone can take steps to promote good mental
health.
Our local county commissioners have proclaimed
the month of May as Mental Health Month in
Boundary County.
Just as Americans have learned there are things
they can do to reduce their risk of heart
disease and other illnesses, NAMI Far North
wants to help people learn what they can do both
to protect their mental health in tough times,
and also to improve their mental well-being
throughout their lives.
NAMI Far North meets the third Wednesday of each
month in Sandpoint at the Bonner General
Hospital Classroom from 6:00-8:30 p.m. Learn
