WELCOME!
The Student Assistance Program is a comprehensive and integrated joint school-community program for the prevention, intervention, support, and referral services to students in the areas of high-risk behaviors including the use of alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and addictive behaviors. As a Student Assistant Coordinator (SAC), it is my goal to help students develop healthy coping skills, make positive lifestyle choices, and avoid substance abuse problems. Students are protected by federal law, which grants them confidentiality (excluding thoughts or attempts of suicide, reports of abuse or neglect, or threats of wanting to harm someone else). Students wishing to make an appointment should visit the guidance office in their building. There is also an appointment request tab for non-emergent appointment requests. Referrals to the Student Assistance Program can be made by anyone. All referrals are confidential.
Students may also seek support from the SAC for a variety of issues including...
Suicidal thoughts or self-injury
Depression or anxiety
Changes in family (divorce, separation, death, illness)
Self-esteem
Eating disorders
