Student Assistance Program
Student Assistance Professionals (SAP) provide school and community based prevention programming and services. Because each school and community is unique, Spectrum SAPs work with the leadership of their schools and communities to assess the needs of the students in order to develop a customized Student Assistance Program that focuses on substance use and mental health education, prevention and intervention services.
The Student Assistance Program professional, in collaboration with all of the school stakeholders, is responsible for the continued development and implementation of the program. The primary task of an SAP counselor is early identification, intervention, and referral for substance abuse and related mental health issues.
Last year 385 were served at 6 schools in Central and Northern Vermont.
