Full training is provided and you get to experience the events in a unique way.
What is Are You OK?
Are You OK? is the OUSA Student Support safety team, here to make sure that a good time doesn’t turn into a bad time and support is always there when it is needed. The Are You OK? safety team provides students with a non-judgmental, approachable, and friendly source of support.
At all OUSA events, you will find our fantastic Are You OK? team in their bright pink T-shirts. Whether someone has had too much to drink, is feeling homesick, in need of first aid, needs some chill out time, or a safe ride home the trained Are You OK? volunteers are there to make sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.
