About this website

Ohio legislation, known as House Bill 28, requires each state public institution of higher education to provide incoming students with information about mental health topics, including available depression and suicide prevention resources. This website was developed by a workgroup of professionals in evidence-based prevention programming to support Ohio's public colleges and universities in complying with this law. 

If you or someone you know is in crisis, text "4HOPE" to 741-741 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. Visit suicidepreventionlifeline.org.
