Beyond Your Buzz

Beyond Your Buzz (BYOB) is an opportunity for any students who have a desire to explore and make positive changes in their substance use. BYOB aims to engage students in authentic and open conversation around their substance use and its impact on their daily life.

This is not counseling and is meant to be a space for any student who wants to explore their current use behaviors and is interested in gaining perspective, support and tools to make positive change in their life – no matter what their end goal is.

Students will have access to coaching staff for individualized support in identifying and applying strategies to help them achieve and sustain their personal goals around substance use. We encourage students who are interested in individual support to reach out to Mackenzie Hogan or book an initial meeting at go.osu.edu/scheduleAOD.

What: An opportunity to to engage students in authentic and open conversation around their substance use and its impact on their daily life.

Who: Any students who have a desire to explore and make positive changes in their substance use.

Where: Students can participate in BYOB meetings with their coach both in person and virtually.

Coaches are not licensed counselors. BYOB is not treatment and is not meant to take the place of counseling services, but instead is an added support to your personal growth. If you are seeking treatment or counseling, we are glad to provide informative resources. Assessment is done for educational purposes only. If a student requires a definite diagnosis or treatment for clinical issues, we refer them to Student Life Counseling and Consultation Service at 614-292-5766.
