New tool provides convenient & confidential mental health resources for community
The Hamilton County Health Department launched a new digital platform this week for residents struggling with mental health issues. CredibleMind is a wellness-oriented platform that provides 24/7 access to more than 10,000 science-based mental health resources.

“CredibleMind focuses on early intervention and prevention,” Health Department Administrator Jason LeMaster said. “Residents can improve their overall wellbeing by taking mental health assessments and viewing an online library of mental health videos, podcasts, apps, and articles to help them learn new skills and better understand their mental health.”
Featured topics run the gamut from anxiety and stress to workplace wellness and parenting as well as addiction, recovery and suicide prevention. There is also a tab for Community Resources where residents can find a list of local agencies that provide mental wellness services.
“We are facing a mental health crisis in our country and the demand for mental health services is higher than ever,” CredibleMind CEO Deryk Van Brunt said. “We are thrilled to partner with the Hamilton County Health Department and provide on-demand, reliable self-care and mental health resources to help the community improve its overall wellbeing and flourish.”
Residents can access the CredibleMind platform by visiting the Health Department’s website, clicking on the Community Resources tab, and then selecting the Mental Health tab, or by visiting hamiltoncounty.crediblemind.com.
