Counselor Advocates
The counselor advocates are a group of student volunteers who offer confidential peer support and advocacy through a 24/7 hotline. You can reach a CA by calling the confidential CA answering service at x6998, and asking to have a CA paged. The CAs go through an intensive 80+ hour training on peer counseling skills, issues of sexual and relationship violence, and other issues that may be relevant to Hampshire students. CAs are excellent listeners and are very knowledgeable about community resources. You can call and talk to a CA privately about anything that’s on your mind, whether it’s an assault, academic problems, loneliness, relationship issues, etc.
Call anytime: x6998
