Chinese-American Sunshine HouseWelcome to Chinese-American Sunshine House!
Established in 2011, Chinese American Sunshine House is a non-profit organization that provides a culturally-sensitive environment for the Brooklyn Chinese community by empowering those battling with mental illness through their personal recovery and educating the community about mental health. Its mission is to provide an environment which promotes education of mental illness to combat stigmas and to improve accessibility to available treatment. The focus of the organization is placed on normalizing the emotional state of clients and families, while providing education through workshops and trainings, and linkages to additional resources within the borough of Brooklyn.
