On-call resource and referral for Olin students
Peer Advocates (PA’s) are a group of independent and trained students at Olin who seek to provide resources around healthy relationships, sexual decision making, and consent while also serving as a peer support for victims of sexual misconduct, relationship violence, and/or any other unwanted or concerning behavior of a sexual nature. This program was founded by Kate Maschan (class of 2015) in the fall of 2014 as part of her AHS Capstone project.
Note: The Peer Advocates (PA's) are not an official student organization at Olin College. As an independent and trained group of students, the PA's views and actions do not represent that of the Title IX Office or Olin College. For information regarding the Title IX process please review Olin's Sexual and Interpersonal Misconduct and Title IX Policy and/or contact jbell@olin.edu

UWill’s Mental Health Crisis Line: 833.646.1526
Immediate mental health support is available 24/7/365 for Olin students at this number from a licensed counselor. You can call for support as many times as needed, and you can choose to be confidential or anonymous. When you call, you will hear a recorded message initially. Then you are connected with a licensed counselor.
The message indicates that they will help “coordinate with your school;” but for Olin, this is only the case when there is an emergency situation. In an emergency, they will coordinate with Public Safety and the Administrator on Call to make sure the student is getting the support they need.
UWill also offers free on demand wellness programming, such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness and more. Go to app.uwill.com and register using your Olin email address.
