Where Do I Find Information on That?
OCU Campus Health Clinic has compiled a list of websites on subjects that are common for College Students to have questions about. We also have a few websites with general health and wellness information for other issues not specifically addressed.
When looking at websites on health and wellness issues, use this information as a general guideline. It can be dangerous to self-diagnose yourself or a friend without proper medical training. If you are worried about a possible disease or injury, please see a trained medical provider. Personal Counselors are also available on campus for students having issues with emotions, stress, or difficult life situations.
Remember – YOU are strong and smart if you ask for help when you need it.
