Schools with Student Assistance Programs (SAP) have a trained team of school personnel available to assist the student and family in identifying problems that impact on the student’s ability to function in school, and to offer assistance in alleviating these problems.

Student Assistance Programs (SAP) have been established in schools throughout Pennsylvania with the cooperative support of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, Health and Welfare.

Training Center - The School Services Program also offers a unique and broad variety of workshops, support groups and professional trainings that can improve your health, well-being and knowledge base. For more information on trainings scheduled or available, click here.
