There's federal funding open right now to reach the students most at risk for suicide — and it closes July 27th. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) GLS Campus Suicide Prevention grant is built for the students who never walk into the counseling center on their own. That's the hardest group to reach — and exactly who this funding is for. It's also what Aiberry was built for: anonymous, no-login mental health screening that meets students where they are and routes them to the support their campus already offers. Which means we already cover a meaningful piece of what this grant requires. If your campus is even considering it, let's talk before the 27th. #StudentMentalHealth #HigherEd #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealth https://lnkd.in/eCHz4g8C

1 in 3 young adults struggling with their mental health don't think they need help. Read that again. Not "won't ask." Don't think they need it. That's the hard part. You can't reach someone who doesn't know they're struggling. Aiberry is built to meet them where they are with anonymous screenings built around how they actually feel, with a path to support. #studentmentalhealth #mentalhealth #workplacementalhealth

Thank you, Easterseals MORC, for normalizing the conversation around men's mental health. Research shows men are far less likely to reach out when they're struggling — and that's if they even realize they are. Many don't. That's where an anonymous check-in helps: it's a low-stakes way to make sense of what you're feeling and ask for help when you're ready. #MensMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Eric Wood put it well in his post on this bill: good campus plans connect students with help "before they reach a crisis point." That line matters, because the students we worry about most are often the ones who never reach out—for all kinds of reasons, from stigma to fear to simply not knowing anything is wrong. Good plans don't just add services; they lower the barrier to that very first step. That's exactly the gap Aiberry is built to close. An anonymous, low-stakes check-in gives students who aren't ready to ask for help a way to understand what they're experiencing, with a path to support early. #studentmentalhealth #highereducation #mentalhealthawarenessmonth

Thank you, Doug Rosenthal, this is exactly how a safety-first culture shows up for its people. In construction, the hardest part of mental health support isn't the resources. It's getting workers to a place where they're willing to look at how they're actually doing. Stigma, hierarchy, and the fear of "going on a list" keep people quiet until things get serious. Anonymous matters here. Not anonymous in the fine print — anonymous in the experience. A worker can check in on a break or at home, on their phone, privately. It's not a replacement for EAP or clinical care. It's the step before, the one a lot of people never take. Thank you for sharing it with your crews!

Most of us have said at least one of these to ourselves. And most of the time, we believed it. Mental Health Awareness Month is a good reminder that the stories we tell ourselves about not needing help are often the biggest barrier to getting it. Anonymous screening won't fix everything — but it makes that first step a little less scary. No logins. No labels. Just clarity. If your organization isn't offering this yet, let's talk. #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellbeing #HigherEd

Most mental health awareness doesn't actually change anything. There's a version that actually works. And there's the version that lives on a poster nobody reads. You don't remember something you heard once. You remember what showed up again and again, at the right moment, in a way that made you stop. We don't always apply that same thinking to mental health. Recognizing symptoms takes exposure. It takes learning "here's what this looks like" more than once, in more than one way. Because not everyone feels tired for a week and thinks this is burnout. Nobody has one anxious morning and connects it to something bigger. Symptoms show up quietly, gradually — and without a frame of reference, most people just push through. And even after all that — recognizing something and acting on it are two completely different mountains. Most people stay in that space longer than anyone realizes. The middle is crowded, and this silent gap needs something in it. Anonymous mental health check-ins meet people at the earliest stages of awareness when they want to be just that: anonymous – and create a digital bridge to care. That's what Aiberry is built for.

This is worth pausing on. The warning signs that the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention describes — showing up late, near misses, conflict, losing focus — aren't always personal distress signals. They look like performance problems first. And on a job site, performance problems get managed, not explored. That's the gap. By the time someone's struggling visibly enough to trigger a real conversation, they've usually been struggling quietly for a long time. Anonymous screening doesn't replace the conversation. But it creates an earlier entry point — a private way for workers to flag how they're actually doing before it shows up on the job site. Sharing this because CIASP gets it right: looking out for your crew goes beyond physical safety. The tools to back that up are finally here. #ConstructionCares #MentalHealthAtWork #WholeHealth #CIASP #WorkforceWellbeing

April is Community College Month. Most of the college mental health spotlight lands on residential campuses. Community college students are carrying just as much — often more. Community college students aren't the "typical" college experience. They're juggling coursework, jobs, rent, and often raising children — sometimes all at once. They're more likely to be first-generation students, navigating financial insecurity, and carrying responsibilities that most four-year students simply don't face. The data reflects this reality. The counselor-to-student ratio at community colleges is roughly 1 per 3,000 students — compared to 1 per 1,600 at four-year universities. And more than one-third of community college students who likely have depressive or anxiety disorders report never seeking help. But here's what gives us hope: community colleges are leaning in. They're building pathways to support for students who are ready to reach out. They're recognizing that food insecurity, financial stress, and mental health are deeply interconnected — and that all of it affects whether a student stays enrolled. Most students who need help never ask for it. That's why anonymous mental health screenings are one of the most powerful early tools available — because you can't support what you can't see. This Community College Month, we're proud to partner with institutions who understand that mental wellness isn't a luxury for students managing full lives. It's the foundation everything else is built on. 💙 To every community college counseling team, dean of students, and administrator working to close the visibility gap — thank you. #NationalCommunityCollegeMonth #MentalHealth #HigherEd #StudentWellbeing #CommunityCollege #MentalHealthScreening #Aiberry

Nearly half of U.S. adults living with a mental illness received no treatment last year — not because they couldn't access care, but because they didn't recognize they needed it. The culprit? A gap in mental health literacy — the ability to recognize, name, and act on mental health symptoms. When someone can't label what they're experiencing they can't take the first step toward help. They may spend years attributing clinical symptoms to stress, personality, or a bad back — that lasts, on average, 11 years before a first clinical encounter. Digital mental health screenings can change that. When someone sees their own experience reflected back to them for the first time, it does two things: it validates that what they're feeling is real, and it gives them the words to seek help. Research shows that 79% of people who screen in the moderate-to-severe range for mental health conditions have never received a diagnosis before that moment. For many, a screening is the first time their distress has ever been named. For HR leaders, higher education professionals, and community mental health organizations — the people on the front lines of how communities access mental health support — this is the infrastructure gap worth closing. Read the full piece to learn what mental health literacy really means, and what you can do about it. 🔗 [link in comments] #MentalHealth #MentalHealthLiteracy #EmployeeWellbeing #DigitalHealth #HRLeaders #HigherEducation #CommunityHealth #WorkplaceWellness
