On this week’s Thursday with NAMI, John Kline (pen name John Towns) of Wake Forest, NC shares his tumultuous story about life with bipolar disorder. As an ambulance EMT Chief/Paramedic, the author responded to a stream of chaotic inner city calls which led to him having Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. From intense, schizophrenia-type symptoms to periods of peaceful remission, John kept putting one foot in front of the other. In Heart of Rescue he gives an entertaining and poignant account of 50+ years with multiple jobs, misadventures, mistakes – and insight. Join us as he shares strategies and tips to cope with mental health issues.
Thursdays with NAMI starts at 7pm and is free and open to all, but registration is required. To register and view the schedule for future sessions, please click HERE.
