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
The struggle comes with many names: anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, stress
and more. They can be brought on by the stress of school and daily life, fear of the
coronavirus outbreak, sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse, or racial oppression,
to name a few.
It’s time we treat mental health needs more openly as a society. Let’s Talk About
It and make it a normal part of life to get help and heal. Get to know your mental
health resources at OSU and be ready to talk to friends, family, co-workers and everyone
about supporting mental health. Please remember, OSU cares.
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.

Campus Mental Health Action Plan
In response to the growing need for expanded mental health services across campus,
OSU’s Division of Student Affairs has launched a Mental Health Action Plan in order to bring together additional communications,
services and programs for both students and employees.
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.

Helping our campus community overcome mental health barriers is a campus-wide endeavor.
