In past years, Peer Health had an office in the basement of Baxter Hall. It is currently located on the second floor of the Paresky Center, Room 212. There are walk in hours Sun.-Thurs. 7 p.m.-10p.m. if you want talk about anything. You can also IM us on AIM, HealthyEphs. There is also the old-fashioned version of communication, the telephone. The phone number to Peer Healh is (413) 597-3140. You can also email us at <email>Peer.Health@gmail.com</email>.
To get condoms:
- Make friends with a peer health member! (This actually might not get you condoms, but is a good thing to do anyways!)
- Go down to the health center, which supplies free condoms for all students.
- Talk to your Baxter Fellow/JA about where their condom bowl is! It should be available and full at all times!
