Addressing a significant gap between residents and mental health providers, local health leaders hope a new site can offer some help. On Friday, the Door County Department of Health and Human Services, the Door County Mental Health Focus Group, and Door County Medical Center announced the launch of CredibleMind, a free online mental well-being platform. The free online platform puts videos, podcasts, apps, online programs, books, and more right at your fingertips. One in five American adults suffers from mental illness, many of which cannot get the help they need. That’s especially true in Door County, where there is just one mental health provider for every 740 residents. Shauna Blackledge from the Door County Public Health Department hopes that residents find the site useful and can give them useful tips if they need assistance.
