2022 Ohio State Harding Mental Health Fair
Ohio State Harding Hospital will be holding its Annual Mental Health Fair the week of May 2-6, 2022. This marks the 12th year for this event.
Since 2007, in one format or another, we’ve been working to bring this event to the Ohio State faculty, staff and community to provide education and resources for mental health care.
Due to COVID-19 concerns, we aren’t able to provide a traditional in-person event, but felt it’s too important not to continue this tradition.
In recognition of National Mental Health Awareness month in May, please review the schedule for the following events:
