OSU Cares
Let's Talk About It. It’s time we make taking care of our mental health as easy to
discuss as our physical health.
It’s OK to struggle with mental health
We’ve all been there
As members of the Cowboy Family, it is our collective responsibility to support and
care for one another. Taking care of your own mental well-being is crucial and we
also encourage you to play an active role in looking after your fellow Cowboys. By
becoming educated, trained and prepared, we can all work together to eliminate the
stigma associated with mental health.
If you or someone you know is experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed, loneliness,
depression, or exhaustion, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of available
resources. Remember, you are not alone, and there is help and support ready for you.
Be prepared to talk about it
Take part in OSU’s free mental health trainings so you can help your peers and recognize
the signs and symptoms of struggle.

JED Campus designation
In 2019, Oklahoma State launched an initiative to help prevent suicides and improve
mental health awareness through the nonprofit JED Foundation.
The JED Campus program, a four-year partnership, is a commitment by OSU to evaluate
and improve programs to better support our students’ emotional health.
