Oasis Haven

There are times when students in distress feel more comfortable talking to a fellow student rather than approaching one of the professional staff at the Psychological Counseling Center (PCC). Recognizing the campus community's need for student-helpers, the PCC has created two peer crisis intervention organizations: OASIS and HAVEN. OASIS is a student-staffed, counseling and crisis intervention center and telephone hot-line. OASIS volunteers are trained and supervised by the hotline Coordinator, shift supervisors and the PCC staff to respond to students' telephone calls and walk-in requests for support, information, and referrals. * OASIS Office Location: Deyo Hall G13c * Office Hours: 8 p.m. - 1 a.m. (Closed during all breaks.) * Phone: (845) 257-4945 OASIS offers confidential peer counseling and crisis intervention to help students deal with difficulties in life areas such as, but not limited to: * loneliness * depression/anxiety * relationships * roommate hassles * eating disorders * family concerns/problems * academic concerns/problems * suicidal thoughts. HAVEN is a peer counseling program that offers confidential telephone and walk-in counseling and education to students who are survivors of, know someone who is a survivor of, or who are concerned about rape and other unwanted sexual experiences. HAVEN volunteers are trained and supervised by the PCC staff. HAVEN also maintains a 24-hour emergency beeper service for emergencies. HAVEN and the Beeper Service are closed during all breaks. * HAVEN Office Location: Deyo Hall G13c * Office Hours: Office Hours: 8 p.m. - 1 a.m. (Closed during all breaks). * Phone: (845) 257-4930 * Emergency Beeper Service: (845) 455-6093 (Closed during all breaks).
