The SMICA forum is a place where family caregivers of Loved Ones with a serious mental illness can ask questions and get honest answers from someone who has lived it.
Michael reads every question before it goes on the page, and answers it himself. Please leave out full names and anything that could identify your Loved One.
In a crisis, don't post here — call or text 988, or call 9-1-1.

Every answer comes from a caregiver with years of Lived Experience, not a brochure.
The Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Nothing on this page, and nothing in the forum, will ever cost a family anything.
Caregivers only, talking about the same illnesses, the same hospitals, and the same hard evenings you are living through.
Email your question and Michael answers it personally. Past answers are collected and free to read.
