Counseling Services for OARDC Graduate Students on Wooster Campus

OARDC Director's Office is supporting counseling for OARDC Graduate Students on Wooster Campus through The SourceOne Group. A graduate student can meet with a counselor for up to 6 sessions at no charge. If counseling is needed beyond 6 sessions, the graduate student will be responsible for the cost or they can seek assistance from a mental health provider covered under their health insurance. Graduate students can seek counseling when needed by calling Source One at (330) 345-0955 to schedule an appointment. Identify yourself as an OARDC Graduate Student when calling for an appointment. It is best if the student can meet with a counselor at the SourceOne offices on Milltown Road, Wooster, OH.

The dedicated staff of the SourceOne Group have many years of specialized training. Conversations with SourceOne counselors will be confidential. All records and communication with Source One will be kept separate from your academic file and records at OARDC and OSU.
