NAMI - Far North Idaho

Restoring People, Place, and Purpose! At NAMI Far North Idaho, we believe everyone deserves dignity, connection, and meaning. That belief inspired Sand Creek Connections — a welcoming, free, lifetime non-clinical day program where adults (18 and over) living with mental health challenges rebuild confidence and purpose. Opened on November 15, 2024, Sand Creek Connections is Idaho’s first Clubhouse International affiliate, offering a proven model where members and staff work side by side (no hierarchy) in a supportive, non‑clinical environment focused on recovery, belonging, and community reintegration.

NAMI Far North Idaho is your local affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness — the nation’s largest volunteer-driven, grassroots organization supporting individuals and families affected by mental health conditions. Serving Bonner and Boundary Counties, we offer free, confidential programs that provide understanding, connection, and hope through education, advocacy, and peer support.
