Mental Health and Wellness
We have become increasingly aware of the high incidence of mental health issues among our graduate student, postdoctoral scholars and faculty populations. We would like to devote some space in the internal college website to articles and resources that departments and programs can access when they have questions about this topic. If you have additional resources or suggestions to add, please contact Assistant Dean, Brian Orefice (orefice.1@osu.edu).
