Olmsted County launches new health and well-being support platform, CredibleMind
December 20, 2023
Olmsted County is announcing a new partnership with a digital health and well-being platform, CredibleMind. CredibleMind has many resources to help people navigate their health and mental well-being. It also provides personalized information and resources to meet their needs.
“With this incredible tool, we are empowering residents to prioritize their health and well-being,” said Olmsted County Deputy Administrator Travis Gransee. “This digital platform puts the tools for wellness directly into the hands of our community members.”
According to the 2022 Olmsted County Community Health Needs Assessment, 34 percent of Olmsted County adults reported having mental health issues. Survey recipients said they didn't get mental health help because they couldn't get an appointment, it was too expensive, or they didn't know where to go.
CredibleMind addresses these concerns by providing:
- Articles, videos, and podcasts on specific health-related topics.
- Self-assessments on well-being.
- Localized community resources.
“CredibleMind is easy to use and helps individuals build resilience,” said Olmsted County Board of Commissioners Chair Gregg Wright. “Implementing this tool is part of Olmsted County's commitment to improving residents’ health and well-being and is a significant step forward in creating a healthier community.”
