November Meeting – Nancy Schmidt
Nancy has been involved with health and wellness promotion in a broad variety of settings for over 30 years. She is currently the northern regional coordinator for Idaho Lives Project and works with school districts and their respective communities assisting in the development of "upstream" suicide prevention programs. She will share her experiences in the trenches of the Idaho school systems, with addiction and recovery, and answer your questions about all things mental wellness!
NAMI General Meetings provide education and support to its members and guests. Speakers’ presentations address topics of general interest to individuals with mental illness, their loved ones and mental health professionals; this is followed by Support Groups: one for the individuals living with mental illness, and the other for those who love them. (No meeting in December).
