For caregivers who are taking care of people with mental health conditions.

With MiSunshine, you gain better access to mental health information and services provided by reputable mental health organizations such as the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and learn from fellow caregivers in peer support groups. MiSunshine provides you tools for making caregiving a little easier and more manageable.

We understand that caring for loved ones who suffer from mental health issues also places a heavy mental toll on caregivers. That is why MiSunshine pays great attention to your own mental well-being.
