NP. Seconding this. I don't know what the exact term would be, but I"m wondering if there is any kind of "familywide mental health coordinator," like there are coordinators who help caregivers navigate situations like having two impaired elderly parents, or an adult child with severe developmental disabilities. Coordinating treatment, transportation to treatment, schedules, home help to take things off your plate. I know, your kids and DH are not in those situations (physical issues, developmental disabilities etc.) but I wonder if anyone here can say if they found a point person who helped look at ALL the coordinated options for a family with multiple mental illnesses among members--?

This is the kind of thing that a NAMI family support group could help you with. An online group might fit into your life when an in-person one can't. I really hope you can get into a support group with others in your exact situation--strangers here can give only limited sympathy but a group puts you in touch with others who have absolutely been there themselves.
