New mental health application introduced: Oasis by CAPS
At Holy Cross University, students now have access to a new mental health support resource: the Oasis app. This innovative platform is designed to expand access and provide additional support for students, offering a wealth of articles, videos, and self-help content available 24/7.
One of the standout features of Oasis is its mood monitoring tool, allowing students to track their emotional well-being with ease. Users can also personalize their content, receiving advice, exercises, and tips tailored to their preferences.
The app offers same-day counseling sessions, on-demand self-help content, and text support chats with professionally trained counselors available around the clock. It's important to note that while Oasis is a valuable resource, it is not a clinical mental health treatment.
Viveca Stucke '26, a member of the Class of 2026 majoring in Political Science and Religious Studies, is one of the many students benefitting from this new resource. When asked about her favorite movie, Viveca enthusiastically replied, "Legally Blonde." Her favorite song, on the other hand, is "IT'S GETTING HOT."
Viveca is also an active member of the Holy Cross community, involved in several campus activities such as The Spire, SGA, MSAG, and serving as a Lehy RA. Colette Potter '26 and Caroline Kramer '26 have written features about Viveca and other students at Holy Cross, including a piece about Lehy 420.
It's worth mentioning that while the term "OASIS" is associated with mental health and social support groups in other contexts, the Oasis app at Holy Cross University does not appear to be directly related to these external groups. For accurate and detailed information about the Oasis app at Holy Cross and the mental health resources it offers, it would be best to consult the university’s official website, student services, or mental health support offices directly.
Student data on Oasis can only be accessed by HIPAA-trained Oasis staff and school administrators. In cases where a student is identified as a risk to themselves or others, they will be referred to appropriate crisis resources at Holy Cross.
Sarah Obrycki '26, the Resident Assistant (RA) for Lehy 3 Upper, and Viveca Stucke '26, along with Paige Thomson '26, have personalized their room in Lehy 420.
In conclusion, the Oasis app is a valuable addition to Holy Cross University's mental health resources, providing students with a convenient and accessible way to manage their emotional well-being and access support when needed.
