When we hear the term agnostic, we typically hear it in the context of an individual’s religious or political views, denoting someone who is noncommittal or undogmatic in their thinking. However, in a broad sense, agnosticism’s untethered nature applies to other areas, as well. More specifically, agnosticism is a term that has recently been associated with technology and digital tools.

By definition, when applied to software or hardware, the term agnostic means that a specific digital tool or technology is designed to be compatible with different devices or operating systems. While there is a lot of innovative work being done to make agnostic technologies that can interact with a wide number of digital systems, our team has done our own work to create unique technologies that are agnostic in another way: building digital mental health and well-being platforms for higher education that are resource agnostic.

October is National Depression and Mental Health Screening Month. Mental health screenings are important part of raising awareness around how depression and mental health impacts a student's success during school. Understanding that mental health impacts everyone differently, it is important to provide equitable access to comprehensive tools to help students better understand the things they're dealing with on a daily basis.

A key component of the YOU platform is providing students with 24/7 access to free, confidential, and anonymous Self-Checks designed to help them engage with user-friendly assessments around mental health, physical health, belonging, basic needs, academics, and much more. Our self-checks leverage science-backed best practices to ensure students accurately understand areas they're excelling in and areas that might need improvement, while also connecting them directly to curated resources related to those topic areas both on campus and online.

To learn more about how our comprehensive self-check assessments can support students at your institution, visit YOUatCollege.com and connect with our team today!
