Student Assistance Programs (SAP) are one of the most comprehensive, evidence-based school approaches to preventing and reducing alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. Student Assistance (SAPs) meet with Middle and High School students to teach prevention education and coping skills. SAPs provide students an opportunity to talk about struggles, concerns, fears, and substance misuse in a safe and confidential space.
