Stepped Care Model
The Stepped Care Model is referenced in the JED Playbook as a holistic approach that
provides flexible access to wellness and mental health resources. We recognize that
a student is flourishing when they are healthy in all aspects of their life. Stepped
Care gives individuals the opportunity to step their care up, or step it down, depending
on their health needs. It is an individualized approach.
TAO Online Support
Therapy Assistance Online (TAO) provides 24/7 access to resources to help you feel your best emotionally. TAO contains videos, activity logs, and other tools that can be completed anytime and anywhere you have internet access.
TAO is free to the campus community. TAO modules and tools are available as self-help tools, or can be assigned by a faculty/staff member. Alternatively, SWOSU counselors may assign TAO as a therapy tool in conjunction with personal sessions.
To enter TAO, click button at the right. Enter your SWOSU email address and log in using one of the following three methods:

Once you’ve logged in, you will find a variety of resources to explore.
We hope that you find TAO to be a useful tool in your wellness journey!
Health (Campus Nurse)
SWOSU collaborates with Weatherford Regional Hospital (WRH) in order to promote student health. As a component of this co-sourcing model, a WRH nurse maintains an office in the Center for Health and Well-being. Services include minor first aid, immunizations, pregnancy testing, and CLIA-waived testing including Strep, Influenza, and Urine Analysis. There is not a charge for SWOSU students to see the university nurse. A $10 copay is charged to a student’s bursar account if a physician’s appointment is scheduled through the university. Telemedicine options are available.
