PROGRAMS AND LOCATIONS

Oasis Rehabilitation Center

Oasis Rehabilitation Center provides services for adults and traditional age youth (TAY) with chronic and/or severe mental illnesses. The agency consists of three programs offering distinct intensive mental health services and community-based support:

• Oasis Crisis Services (OCS) — which serves as the "psychiatric emergency room" for Coachella Valley residents. The OCS provides emergency assessment and referral services for clients of all ages. Available 24/7 regardless of ability to pay, our OCS is lead by a psychiatrist with a team of social workers, nurses, and other mental health professionals. It is certified by the California Department of Mental Health.
  
  
• Psychiatric Health Facility (PHF) — which provides comprehensive psychiatric assessment, evaluation, and treatment to an acutely disturbed population of Coachella Valley. The Oasis PHF is a locked program for adults who are "in crisis" with serious and immediate psychiatric disturbances. This facility specializes in rapid short-term stabilization, close supervision, intensive treatment, and strong social service support. We deliver a professional psychiatric treatment and medical management model combined with psychiatric nursing to provide a warm and safe therapeutic environment. We help clients to manage chronic stress and reactions to severe trauma using a variety of groups and other services. For example, during the course of their PHF stay, clients receive an introduction to the approaches and resources of W.R.A.P. (Wellness Recovery Action Planning), an evidence-based practice that helps people manage their illness throughout their lives.
  
  
• The Harmony Center — which is funded through the Mental Health Services Act. The Harmony Center consists of three programs designed for the specific needs for adults and TAY (ages 16-25) who need a nurturing environment that supports their recovery — including job counseling, 12-Step Programs, and assistance in securing the resources needed for independent living within the community.
  
  
  • Oasis' Integrated Services and Recovery Center (ISRC) is a Full Service Partnership (FSP) that provides TAY (ages 16-25) with individual and group counseling, case management, medication management, crisis intervention, and job counseling. The mission of the ISRC is to break the cycle of homelessness, hospitalization, and/or incarceration by integrating client- and family-driven mental health services with community collaboration, cultural competency, and a wellness/recovery focus. FSP-TAY clients – who may be homeless or at risk for homelessness – are referred by the Riverside County Department of Mental Health (RCDMH) as having a severe and persistent mental illness, as well as a history of hospitalizations or incarcerations.
    
    
  • Harmony Center Mentoring Program is co-located in Indio with our ISRC and is the only mentoring program for youth in Riverside County. The Harmony Center Mentoring program links mentors with youth ages 10-16 who are referred by RCDMH. We believe that an effective mentoring program helps youth discover their own path by supporting their ability to lead a balanced life. To do so, our mentors devote a few hours each week to sharing everyday activities with youth such as shopping, going to movies, attending community events, and participating in recreational sports.
    
    
  • Oasis Peer Support & Resource Center (PSRC) is a peer-run program whose mission is to support wellness and recovery by providing a safe, non-judgmental environment that empowers people to change their own lives. The PSRC provides RCDMH consumers with resources ranging from employment assistance, computer skills training, independent living skills, and substance abuse programs. The PSRC operates in three separate locations throughout the Desert Region of Riverside County (Banning, Blyth and Indio). Services are provided to both TAY consumers (ages 16-25) as well as consumers ages 25+. Membership is open to current or former consumers of RCDMH services, their family members, and their supporters.

Employee Satisfaction Survey

Each year, all staff programs complete anonymous Employee Satisfaction Surveys. The entire management team carefully reviews survey results to identify areas where we are successful in making our agency a great place to work, as well as to identify areas for improvement. By using the same survey each year, we can measure our success and focus our efforts on continually improving our work environment.

For a selection of results from a recent Employee Satisfaction Survey for Oasis Rehabilitation Center, see Our Staff.
