Fargo Cass Public Health (FCPH), in collaboration with public health units in Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Steele and Traill counties, today announces a new partnership with CredibleMind, an innovative online platform designed to support mental well-being.
CredibleMind is a free and confidential platform offering localized, wellness-oriented digital content that empowers employees, insurers, healthcare providers and community organizations to provide personalized mental health resources to area residents at their convenience. Creating an account allows the user a more personalized experience, delivering desired and unique content to their profile. Additionally, users who create an account and complete the Mental Health Check-In Assessment by June 14, 2025, will be entered into a drawing for a $100 Amazon gift card, sponsored by CredibleMind.
The six aforementioned counties comprise what is known as the Southeast (SE) North Dakota Public Health Collaborative, a unified partnership of local health units. Together, these health units strive to prevent illness, promote health and efficiently mobilize valuable resources to benefit the communities they serve. In response to the growing need for access to reliable mental health resources, the SE North Dakota Public Health Collaborative has joined forces to launch a regional CredibleMind platform, combining mental and behavioral health resources as an accessible tool to support mental well-being. CredibleMind is designed to provide support for a variety of mental health challenges that individuals or their loved ones may be facing. This platform offers evidence-based information, self-help tools and personalized resources to empower people in navigating issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and more. The new regional platform can be found here: SoutheastND.CredibleMind.com.
Jenn Faul, Director of FCPH, says, “This unique partnership will make CredibleMind an accessible digital resource to the more than 220,000 residents within Cass, Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Steele and Traill Counties in North Dakota.” Says Hannah Zamora, Public Health Administrator, Steele County Public Health, “Expanding the existing partnership between our counties allows us to better serve our residents by combining free mental health resources in a one-stop-shop digital format.”
Founded in 2018, CredibleMind provides a complete population-based mental health ecosystem, including analytics reporting on service needs, use and outcomes. Focusing on early intervention and prevention around mental health issues, CredibleMind contains over 10,000 evidence-based and science-backed resources to provide users with credible self-care options to improve their overall well-being without medical intervention.
