Mental health can't wait. 

America is in a mental health crisis — but too often, the media overlooks this urgent issue. MindSite News is different. We’re the only national newsroom dedicated exclusively to mental health journalism, exposing systemic failures and spotlighting lifesaving solutions. And as a nonprofit, we depend on reader support to stay independent and focused on the truth. 

It takes less than one minute to make a difference. No amount is too small.

Receive thoughtful coverage of mental health policy and solutions daily.
