Student Assistance Program
What is SAP (Student Assistance Program)?
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is designed to identify and address issues that can hinder a student's success, including challenges related to alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and mental health, connecting students with the support they need to overcome these barriers and thrive in school.
This program is overseen by the PA Network for Student Assistance Services (PNSAS) Interagency, Statewide Staff and Regional Coordinators' team, the Pennsylvania SAP is a collaborative effort with representation from the PA Departments of Education (Safe Schools Office), Drug and Alcohol Programs (Division of Prevention and Intervention), and Human Services (Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services).
The goal is to connect students in need with existing services and community resources.
