NAMI meeting features pain psychologist

MARQUETTE — The National Alliance on Mental Illness-Alger/Marquette meeting on Monday will feature Kevin McDowell, pain psychologist at U.P. Health System of Marquette.

The group will gather at 7 p.m. Eastern time in the Baraga Place conference room, 129 W. Baraga Ave. in Marquette.

As a pain psychologist, McDowell focuses on the relationship between physical diseases and mental illness. For example, he might help someone with a back injury cope with pain and depression.

NAMI offers free, confidential peer support groups and educational meetings for individuals living with mental illness, and friends or families living with an individual with mental illness.

For more information, call 906-360-7107 or go to www.namiam.org. In case of inclement weather, if Northern Michigan University cancels evening classes, the NAMI meeting also will be cancelled.
