The SAC (aka: Student Assistance Coordinator) can help by working with the student directly, collaborating with the teacher(s), or both. The SAC can also communicate with the student's family or other professionals when appropriate.
The SAC is also responsible for providing community mental health resources for students and families, as well as developing prevention programming for the school community.
Students and teachers can expect that information shared with the SAC remains confidential (unless a student is in danger of hurting themselves or someone else.)
Student Assistance Counseling is a process where students meet with a SAC certified counselor to discuss any problems they may be experiencing, such as:
Family Problems
School Problems
Drugs/Alcohol
Depression and other emotional problems
Relationship issues
Stress or anxiety
Bullying
Eating Disorders
ANY other issues
