What is TAO?
TAO is an interactive, web-based program that provides well-researched and highly effective strategies to help overcome anxiety, depression and other common concerns.
TAO online services are provided to OU students and employees for free!
Different Ways to Utilize TAO
TAO Connect can be utilized independently as a self-guided tool, consisting of educational and interactive modules, practice tools, journals and progress measures. The self-help option allows you to move through the courses at your own pace, when you’re feeling down and need encouragement, or visiting our mindfulness library when you need a moment to meditate.
If you’re receiving services with the UCC, TAO Connect can help supplement your sessions outside of business hours. You and your clinician can work together to develop an individualized plan with modules and practice tools that will allow you to continue the therapeutic process between sessions.
