Overcoming crisis the topic for Morning Show

Suicide has become a grave problem – across the nation and right here in Sandpoint, where suicide last year tragically claimed several teenagers and adults that even friends and family did not suspect were struggling. To help prevent this tragedy, NAMI Far North and Bonner Partners in Care Clinic have launched the North Idaho Crisis Line at 208-946-5595. On Tuesday, February 16, KRFY Morning Show hosts Suzy Prez and Chris Bessler talked with NAMI’s Brenda Hammond and Sharon McCahon, about resources for those in crisis and the new help line.
