The only national news organization in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to mental health.
关于我们
A long-festering mental health crisis has been building in the United States for many years, created by a fractured health and mental health system, a pattern of discrimination and bias against communities of color and other disadvantaged groups, and a historic and profoundly damaging trend of criminalizing mental illness. The failure to bring to scale effective prevention, early intervention and treatment programs has left millions of people struggling without the services that could help them. These problems exploded during the pandemic, with dramatic impact on the most vulnerable groups. It is the mission of MindSite News, a nonprofit digital publication that launched in late 2021, to cover this terrain and amplify awareness of these issues by the public and policymakers. As the only news site dedicated exclusively to reporting on mental health, we focus our work in two vital areas: 1) Investigating and exposing the failings and flaws of our fractured mental health system. 2) Bringing to light innovative solutions that have the potential to address these issues and bring effective programs and policies to scale. The mental health crisis in the U.S. has been unfolding at a time when newspapers and other media are downsizing, eliminating journalism jobs. MindSite New is helping to fill this void by creating a national vehicle for rigorous, in-depth reporting on mental health, bringing focus, expertise and deep journalistic experience to an area of growing public interest and concern.

Five years ago this week, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The virus went on to kill 1.2 million Americans, the most of any country in the world. Many of those who died were parents, and the story of the children they left behind has gotten far too little attention. In Part 3 of our Forgotten Children series, we look deeper and focus in on Native American children, who lost parents at the highest rate of any group.

Dozens of members of the mental health clubhouse were scattered all over Hollywood when the order for evacuation began, and the most urgent question was: Would Fountain House be able to reach them in time?
