Both virtual and in-person meetings are available. Students can expect initial meetings to be an opportunity for us to introduce them to the various resources we have that may be helpful based on their goals. This could be anything from basic AOD education, harm reduction, moderation management, recovery meetings, or supportive peer groups in regards to alcohol and other drugs, as well as connections to other wellness resources as needed. All services are free, educational and supportive resources for students to get connected and make positive changes in their life. Students can make a referral (or schedule an appointment for themselves) by visiting go.osu.edu/ScheduleAOD. For additional information or if you have questions about this resource please email Mackenzie Hogan, hogan.180@osu.edu.
