Virtual Wellness Center
Our Mission:
These unprecedented times have lead to a great deal of extra stress and a sense of uncertainty. Life can be very overwhelming and it is important to engage in self-care. The OHS Virtual Wellness Center was designed as a way to support and assist our students in finding ways to cope and manage their emotions through healthy outlets that can become lifelong strategies.
