Developing an Effective Student Assistance Program (SAP)

 

Help Students Prepare to Learn!

Youth today are more "at-risk" than ever before. They engage in behaviors, or are victims of circumstances, that prevent them from reaching their potential. Students with troubles at home or who use alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or other drugs are not able to concentrate in school. They act out in the classroom and make it difficult and distracting for those students who are ready to learn.

Frustrated by reduced staff and resources, many schools have cut programs that help students and suspend or expel students who violate rules and policies. Ironically, this only hinders their ability to meet academic standards. There is a way to help troubled kids within today's time and budget limitations: A Student Assistance Program (SAP).

Although it's not the school's responsibility to turn troubled kids around, schools are where the children are—for many hours each day. Schools have unique opportunities to:

• Address issues of concern
• Support young people
• Help students achieve their learning potential.

For nearly 30 years school-based Student Assistance Programs around the country have been working to promote the physical and emotional well-being of children and to address threats to their well-being before irreversible harm is done. Through Student Assistance Programs, schools can help students become healthy and whole.
