School Family Assistance Program
The Student and Family Assistance Program (SFAP) consists of a team of professionals who provide short term counseling and referrals to ongoing mental health care. If you or your student needs mental health support, please connect with their counselor or our school social worker.
Students in Crisis at School
If a student is in crisis at school, they need to let an adult know. Students do not have to give school staff specific information or share anything they do not feel comfortable sharing AND it is essential that we know where all students are at all times especially when they are experiencing a crisis at school. Students can and should immediately report to Student Services/Main Office and we will support you in re-regulating yourself. We will also provide you with support, resources, services, etc. to help you through the immediate crisis and then provide follow up support.
