At OASIS, our vision is to support teenagers and students in their journey with mental health and give them access to supportive and confidential support groups, where they can connect with others who share similar experiences. These groups offer a safe space to share, learn, and grow together. We aim to not only build a strong, inclusive community; but also encourage people to speak up, seek help, and heal. Our ultimate goal is to empower our youth to lead fulfilling lives while fostering a positive attitude toward their own mental health, thereby breaking the stigma.
Our Vision
Through our online support groups and resourceful website, OASIS has a significant impact on its audience. Our support groups provide a safe and nurturing space for open conversations, meeting new people, and fostering a supportive community that embraces mental health. Accessibility and expenses are no longer a problem, as these groups are designed to give people easy and immediate access to our support. We offer valuable resources, general information, coping strategies, and self-care practices in the form of articles and anecdotes. In all, OASIS empowers and uplifts young individuals, simply providing the tools for them to navigate their own mental health journey.
Our Impact
At OASIS, our values are at the core of everything we do.
Openness: We promote open and honest conversations about mental health, creating a safe space for individuals to express themselves without judgment.
Acceptance: We embrace and accept individuals for who they are, fostering a community that celebrates diversity and respects differences.
Support: We provide unwavering support, offering resources, guidance, and a caring network to help individuals in their paths to recovery.
Inclusivity: We create an inclusive community that values and respects the diversity of individuals.
Stigma reduction: We actively work towards reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, raising awareness, and molding a society that embraces mental well-being without judgment or discrimination.
By aligning with these values, OASIS strives to create an empowering environment where individuals can find comfort, understanding, and the tools they need to thrive.
