Student Assistance Program
Student Assistance Programs (SAPs) are school-based, evidence-informed programs designed to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drug misuse among students. SAPs are trained professionals, referred to as SAP Counselors that are capable of providing a full range of prevention and early intervention activities for students, parents and the school community. The SAP Counselors provide support to the students needing SAP services.
Components of NH’s Student Assistance Program include Professional SAP Counselor, Supervision and Training, Integration with School Community, Integration with Greater Community, Universal Strategies, Prevention Education, Community Crisis Response, Individual Sessions, Group Services, Consultation Services, Advocacy, Data Collection and Reporting.
SAP services include both classroom and school-wide initiatives that challenge social norms around potential substance use as well as more intensive services such as individual and group sessions that enable students to have support in making healthy decisions in response to stress. The NH SAP Program is modeled after Project SUCCESS.
