NAMI’s educational meetings are free and open to the public. Everyone is welcome.
We will not hold our regular educational meeting this month.
Instead, we will celebrate summer and our members with
a cookout on the lawn at St. Michaels Church. We will be
grilling hot dogs and serving potato salad, chips, tossed
salad and ice cream. For
entertainment, we will feature
the musical and other talents
of our consumers and family
members.
This event is free. You don’t have
to bring anything – just your
appetite and a desire to share
in the fun and celebrate our
achievements. Call the NAMI
office at 760-722-3754 to sign
up for the talent show.
After a short refreshment break, our NAMI family support group will meet in the
church library from 8:30—10 p.m. The NAMI Connection peer support group will
meet from 5:30 to 6:30 pm in the parish library before this meeting.

President’s Address
By Mark Sensano
Volume 15 No. 8
Greetings NAMI NC Membership,
This month, I want to provide you with an
update to what is happening in our California
Legislation regarding mental health issues.
2
August 2015
We are all too familiar with the challenge our
law enforcement officers face when responding
to a situation involving someone with a mental
health condition. At times, the situation does
not always turn out on a positive note and a news
media outlet is our first source of information.
California Legislation Senate Bill 11 addresses
Peace Officer Training Standards (POST) with
respect to Mental Health. This bill will address
current POST mental health training and seek to
enhance areas of the curriculum in consultation
with community, local, state and agency mental
health organizations. Here are some examples of
what the bill seeks to address (source: California
Legislative Information website).
Welcome to NAMI North
Coastal San Diego County’s
Twilight Resource Fair
By Liz Kruidenier
The training shall address issues related to stigma, shall
be culturally relevant and appropriate, and shall include
all of the following topics:
1. Recognizing indicators of mental illness,
intellectual disability, and substance use disorders.
2. Conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques
for potentially dangerous situations.
3. Use of force options and alternatives.
4. The perspective of individuals or families who
have experiences with persons with mental
illness, intellectual disability, and substance use
disorders.
5. Mental health resources available to the first
responders to events that involve mentally
disabled persons.

Welcome to NAMI North Coastal San
Diego county’s Twilight Resource Fair
Next year we hope to open our arms so to speak
to the general public, making a joyful noise unto
the Lord as well as to the coastal communities of
North County. With the current emphasis on stress
reduction, integration of physical with mental health
services and collaboration with faith communities we
feel we are well poised for the future.
By Jamie Martinez
It was at the NAMI NCSD Resource Fair, my first,
that Dan Kasperick gave me a friendship bracelet.
At the time, I had no idea the significance of what
it meant, just that the story he told when he gave
it to me was fantastic. He said, “I’m giving you this
friendship bracelet because you are wonderful. The
beads mean that the world is a great big, beautiful,
incredible and mysterious puzzle, and you, Jaime,
are an important piece.” It made me smile and I was
happy to wear the bracelet. Rita, who I had just met
from Recovery International, told me that she hung
her bracelet from the rearview mirror, and I thought
that was a grand idea. So, I hung mine as reminder
that I’m special, everyone I encounter is special in
their own way, and to remind myself that mental
illness is not the end of happiness.
My brother, Ryan, is currently in San Diego County
Jail, awaiting trial. He has a long complicated history
of bipolar and most recently schizophrenia. Paranoia
is his worst enemy. Despite the ten plus year battle,
I love my brother. He is a kind and loving person,
who loves to laugh, listen to and create his own
music, and who would do anything for his family. I
recently joined the NAMI NCSD Board of Directors because Ryan’s arrest in February of this year,
compelled me to do something. I want to make a
difference. I want my brother’s turmoil to not be in
vain, and when I meet someone like Dan, I see hope.
I see recovery. I see a future for Ryan, and if not Ryan,
then someone else. Someone will benefit from my
work, from Dan’s friendship bracelets, even if it’s only
me.
Six days after the Resource Fair, something amazing
happened. In the driveway, on our way to daycare,
my four year old daughter, Maddy, saw the bracelet
hanging from my rearview mirror and said, “I want
to give your bracelet to Miss Teresa.” Miss Teresa is
my children’s daycare provider and we love her dearly.
I told Maddy she could absolutely give it to her, if
she told her the story behind the friendship bracelet.
Like a typical four year old, she was resistant to the
idea. I told her that someone special had made and
given me the bracelet and the only way we could give
it away, was if we told the person we were giving it
to the same story that was told to me. I kept repeating, and I had to shorten the story in order for her
to be able to repeat it, “The world is a puzzle and
you are one important piece.” “The world is a puzzle
and you are one important piece.” “The world is a
puzzle and you are one important piece.” It takes
about seven minutes to get to Miss Teresa’s house,
so we must have said the story at least a hundred
times! My daughter was frustrated at times, gave up,
smiled, laughed, scrambled the words, and eventually
got it. When I opened Maddy’s car door, she booked
it. I was busy getting Raylee out, Maddy’s sister, and
by the time I arrived at the front door, I heard, “Oh

The mission of NAMI North Coastal is to inspire
and support those with brain disorders and their
families. To educate and inform the community and
to erase stigma. As an all volunteer organization
with a paid part time office manager we have worked
hard to make free classes available to both parents
and peers, and to attract local Behavioral Health
Services to North County that were formerly based
only in the City of San Diego. With over a million
residents now living in northern San Diego County
we have our work cut out for us and the Twilight
Resource Fair we hope will spread our message far
and wide.

La mayoría de la gente que padece del trastorno bipolar
puede ser ayudada con medicación. El litio es efectivo en

Maddy, that is beautiful. You made my day.”
She had said it! All by herself! That was a proud
parent moment for me, and I could have been
sorry to have missed her telling the story, but to
hear Miss Teresa’s response was priceless.

August 2015
I then explained Dan’s story to Miss Teresa. And
it is a beautiful story. What started as the smile
campaign turned into friendship bracelet making
because Dan wanted something tangible that
would remind people to smile and that every
day is a gift. I walked out of Miss Teresa’s house
with a permanent smile that morning. Right
before I got to my car, she came running out of
the house with something to tell me. Miss Teresa
wanted to volunteer for NAMI NCSD because
she has a sister with bipolar. Who would have
thought that a friendship bracelet could have such an
impact. My life is forever changed because Dan showed
me a glimpse of his recovery when he became my friend.
In the past four years, Dan estimates he has given away
about two thousand bracelets, and “encourages them to
be shared and distributed to family, friends and strangers.” But don’t forget Dan’s two rules that come with
this beautiful gift, it cannot be sold and it can’t get wet.
Dan said it best, “The Friendship Bracelet Campaign is
never ending. There will always be wrists to bejewel, and
friends to make.” Thank you, Dan, for thinking of others
during your recovery process, and for being willing to
step out of your comfort zone to make people smile.
I will always remember your story because it’s now an
“important piece” of mine.
