Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is introducing a new mental health resource for students this fall through a partnership with Aiberry. The digital tool, called Digital Mindcare by Aiberry, allows students to assess their mental well-being anonymously at any time.

“A student would want to use this service if they want to check in on their own mental health and well-being,” said Erin Frock, lead counselor. “For instance, if you are not feeling yourself lately, or you are feeling more stress than usual, or you are trying to figure out if you might need additional support to get through a rough patch. Students can take a quick assessment and then decide if they should make an appointment with the TMCC Counseling Center or use a different resource to help.”

The process involves students selecting concerns, answering brief questions, and receiving immediate results and resources.

“This service is very easy to use,” Frock added. “Results are not shared or stored. The student will not enter any identifying information. It is anonymous and confidential.”

TMCC’s Counseling Center continues its focus on holistic student well-being by offering free mental health services as well as access to resources such as a food pantry and emergency community support.

“The TMCC Counseling Center offers free mental health services to students. In addition, we offer several other resources to help support students on campus, including a food pantry and emergency community resources,” said Frock.

She highlighted the importance of maintaining mental health: “Taking care of your mental health is just as important as taking care of your physical health. Everyone should get a check-up from the neck up! Take advantage of these great resources and be the best version of you.”

The Counseling Center will also provide group programs during Fall 2025 that address topics like self-compassion, procrastination, first-generation student experiences, neurodiversity support, and habit change.

“Take a moment to check in with yourself using our new confidential mental wellness screening tool – it’s quick, easy, and completely private,” said Frock. “Remember, you are not alone. These screenings offer insights into your mental well-being and connect you with helpful resources to explore.”

Students seeking further assistance can contact the TMCC Counseling Center located in Red Mountain 115 by phone or email.
