CAMPUS COMMUNITY CHATS
The past year and a half has been unpredictable for educators and students alike and this academic school year is expected to be as close to normal for in-person learning and campus life. Prioritizing safety, mental wellness, and preparing for academic success will be presented in a new way for students, staff, and faculty. The Ohio Program for Campus Safety and Mental Health has introduced a virtual “Campus Community Chat” to expand upon ways campuses and communities can access collegiate mental health resources.

the Ohio Wellness Campus Collabortive
The Ohio Program for Campus Safety and Mental Health (OPCSMH) recently received founding via GEERs by The Ohio Department of Higher Education in partnership with The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services to develop the Ohio Wellness Campus Collaborative (OWCC).
The OWCC will provide technical assistance, support, resources, workshops, and training to a cohort of five campus-community partnerships to address pandemic-related behavioral health issues with students enrolled in Ohio’s public universities, community colleges, and non- profit higher education institutions.
The OPCSMH will partner with The Ohio State University Higher Education Center for Alcohol and Drug Misuse Prevention and Recovery (OSU HECAOD) and PreventionFIRST! The following campuses are participating in the cohort:
- Bowling Green State University at Firelands
- Edison State Community College
- Kent State University at Columbiana County Campuses
- Ohio University at Zanesville
- Rhodes State College
The Ohio Healthy Campus Initiative
In 2016, The OPCSMH, in collaboration with the JED Foundation and Peg’s Foundation, developed the Ohio Healthy Campus Initiative. The Ohio Healthy Campus Initiative is a cohort of campuses that participated in the JED Campus Program and the Healthy Minds Study. The JED Campus Program assesses fidelity to the comprehensive mental health approach and supports the development of strategic plans to improve students’ emotional well-being. The Healthy Minds Study is a survey of students developed by the University of Michigan to determine the prevalence of mental disorders, help-seeking behavior and attitudes about mental health. Each year campus stakeholders from a cross-section of Ohio colleges and universities convened to discuss the Healthy Minds Study annual data and to learn about implementing best practices on campus.
