Mental Health & Wellness
Prioritizing Well-being
The wellness approach in Student Affairs involves making a connection between health,
learning and student-wellbeing. The mental health of our students continues to be
a top priority for the Division. The prevention efforts coupled with clinical services
make a significant difference in the lives of students.
Access to mental and physical health services is more important than ever. These programs
and services allow OSU to provide much-needed support to our Cowboy Family.
