What’s your wellness plan?

The Ohio State: Wellness app is a resource created to help students build well-being skills, understand their options and connect to care more easily. Sharing the app with the students you instruct, advise or work with at the start of the semester can be helpful encouragement for them to explore resources early and get support if they need it. Consider using one of these sample messages in your early-semester communications to students and encourage them to take advantage of our newest feature, the Wellness Plan. They can use this proactive tool to consider how they will care for their well-being throughout the semester and build a game plan for resilience.
