What exactly is the Student Assistance Program?

The SAP office provides a full range of support to help all students learn skills for communication, decision-making, stress management, and problem-solving to navigate challenges so they are best able to learn, in addition to substance use prevention and early intervention services using evidence-guided best practices. By participating in the SAP, students are able to learn more about their particular circumstances and develop healthier coping skills.  Participation is either voluntary or made by referrals. 

Student Assistance Counselors maintain regular contact with local parent groups, community organizations, and other substance misuse prevention programs to ensure all identified needs are being met.
