mental/behavioral health resources
If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, first off, I want to apologize and tell you that what you went through was not fair. Utilizing available resources can be helpful in processing your experiences and moving forward. Here is a list of mental/behavioral health resources to take advantage of:
The Center for Counseling and Psychological Health (CCPH) has a variety of mental health resources and counseling, ranging from individual therapy sessions as well as group sessions. They have crisis services, call the 24-hour hotline: (413) 545-0800.
CCPH has specialty services including the Center for Women and Community where they focus on peer counseling, support groups and referrals geared towards sexual assault and abuse.
Clinical and Support Options (CSO), a group of behavioral health and substance abuse services with outpatient locations in the state. They encourage walk-in appointments at all locations. The closest walk-in center to campus would be the North Hampton location. Call them at: (413) 582-0471
Resources outside of the UMass and Five College community can be hard and stressful to find. The following links including Psychology Today and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA), can help you find mental health resources near you.
