The Christian County Health Department is augmenting its stock of online mental health resources.  It comes during Mental Health Awareness Month, which runs the month of May.  The changes are also happening in parallel with the opening months of the CredibleMind tool being made available to screen users for mental health challenges.  Peyton Langen, the Health Department’s mental health case manager, says many of the extra resources are simple online questionnaires through CredibleMind. 

In the interest of user privacy, the Health Department generally does not see information related to users and their responses and results.  It does, however, collect usage statistics, including based on what broad issues users are seeking support in. 

The website can recommend local resources for users to consider, based on screenings. 

Langen also spoke about an initiative she is participating in this month, which is to perform one act of kindness per day.  She says it connects well with Mental Health Awareness Month and encourages others to take it up, as well. 

You can access CredibleMind here.  More information on the Christian County Health Department is available at www.cchdil.org.
