Committee on Student Mental Health and Wellness

Ohio State commissioned a Suicide and Mental Health Task Force in response to important dialogue on campus about the university’s suicide prevention efforts and mental health services. The task force released a report that includes a series of recommendations, and an implementation team has been tasked with analyzing these recommendations and creating proposals and plans for each.

In order to explore opportunities to support their initiatives and support our students’ health and wellness through college-specific opportunities, in autumn 2019 the College of Arts and Sciences established a Committee on Student Mental Health and Wellness. The committee will:

• Review the task force’s short-term recommendations and identify opportunities for college contributions and partnerships
• Consider best practices and campus-wide resources that support the unique needs of students in our academic disciplines
• Make ongoing recommendations to college leadership regarding implementation of initiatives that have the broadest impact
