Mason County Public Health teaming with UnitedWeCare for increase mental health support

Mental health support just got a whole lot easier in Mason County. I sat down with Dave Windom, Director of Mason County Public Health, to talk about a brand-new pilot program using the United We Care app. It’s a free, AI-powered platform that connects people to real support, whether that’s a trained listener, a coach, or a licensed therapist.

We get into how this works, why Mason County chose United We Care, and what it means for our community. The app combines AI-driven tools with real human connection, giving folks 24/7 access to resources for stress, anxiety, and more. And the best part? It’s completely free during this 90-day pilot program, with spots open for 2,500 residents.

We also talk about how Mason County will use de-identified data from the app to see what kinds of mental health challenges people are facing—and how that info can help shape future programs. Plus, we dive into why it’s so important to break the stigma around asking for help.
