Ϲ Student and Resident Behavioral Health Resources
Explore these topics for resources to address all facets of Ϲ student and resident wellness.
Early Alert Wellness Self-Monitoring Tool
Early Alert helps Ϲ students monitor their own wellness and identify support resources (within and outside of Ϲ) for any challenge they may face – sleep, academics, mood, friendships and more.
Early Alert is confidential and works through text messaging (no app download needed and students may unsubscribe at any time). Additionally, Early Alert includes wellness self-monitoring and one check-in per week.
(NOTE: Early Alert will not share any personal identifying information you provide, unless they believe that sharing the information will prevent you or someone else from being hurt and/or suffering significant hardship. If that happens, they will reach out to others who can help and will share the minimum amount of information needed.)
SilverCloud Mental Health Resource
SilverCloud is a free, digital mental health resource available to all Ϲ students. The program offers readings that focus on a variety of topics including anxiety, depression, stress, or insomnia. Each program can be customized to focus on topics relevant to you. This can include improving sleep, managing worries about the future, coping with grief, building self-esteem, and more. In addition to self-guided readings, you will receive regular check-ins from a Froedtert Health coach who checks in on your progress.

SilverCloud is a supportive tool, but its content is not intended to be a substitute for professional mental health advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you need specific advice or assistance, please contact your medical provider.
