Student Assistance Program (SAP)
In Pennsylvania , every middle and high school and some elementary schools have a Student Assistance Program (SAP). A team of school staff is here to help your child through difficult times. If you feel that your child may need help, call your child's school and ask to speak with a member of the Student Assistance Program team. Someone will be there to help. The SAP Team will request that you sign a permission form for your child to become involved in the program. Participation is voluntary.
