Autumn break is a great opportunity for students to pause and reflect on their semester thus far. Whether you plan to see your student during the break or chat over the phone, be sure to check in with them to see how they are doing. With midterm season now in full swing, your student may be experiencing a wide range of emotions related to their academics, connections and overall experiences.

If you believe that your student may benefit from some additional support, you may be wondering what campus resources may be best to meet their needs. Counseling and Consultation Service is offering their next parent and family virtual workshop, Supporting Your Buckeye's Plan for Mental Health and Well-being, on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 4:30 p.m. EDT. The workshop will introduce attendees to a variety of resources and services designed to support your student's specific needs and concerns. While the workshop is not a place to discuss confidential matters, there will be information shared about how to contact Ohio State regarding individual concerns.

Registration for the workshop is required and can be completed online. Due to the potentially sensitive nature of information shared, the workshop is not recorded. If you are unable to attend, please consider registering for a future offering.
