OasisHaven

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 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 referral. * OASIS Office Location: Deyo Hall G13c * Office Hours: 8 p.m. - 1 a.m. (Closed during all breaks.) * Phone: 257-4945 OASIS offers confidential peer counseling and crisis intervention to help students deal with difficulties in life areas such as: * loneliness * depression * relationships * roommate hassles * academic problems * suicidal thoughts. Students can also call the OASIS Center for information and referrals on: * drugs and drug identification * sexual issues and related diseases * medical emergencies * campus and community services. HAVEN HAVEN is a peer counseling program that offers confidential telephone and walk-in counseling and education to students who are survivors 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: 257-4930 * Emergency Beeper Service: 845-455-6093 (Closed during all breaks).
