Welcome to the CHS SAP (Student Assistance Team) website!
Student Assistance Program (SAP) -
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a systematic intervention process for students at risk. An at-risk student is one who has an emotional, social, and/or substance abuse problem that interferes with the normal learning process. These problems include, but are not limited to, the following:
Academic and behavioral difficulties
Eating disorder
Depression or other mental health problems
Substance use or abuse
Suicidal thoughts or gestures
Self-mutilation (cutting or scratching oneself)
Grief
Divorce
Relationship problems
Traumatic event
The Student Assistance Team is NOT a disciplinary team or treatment program, SAP is an intervention program. The team does not diagnose or treat the problem; however, professional substance abuse and mental health assessment services are available through the community agency liaisons who work with the team.
If a student is experiencing difficulty at school or home, that is a barrier to learning then the Student Assistance Program is an excellent resource. MAKE A SAP REFERRAL
All members of Student Assistance Team are trained by a PA Dept. of Education approved provider (Teenline). Teenline is a service of the Holy Spirit Health System. The Teenline program is recognized as a Commonwealth Approved Training Provider for Student Assistance Trainings by the Department of Education and has been providing training since 1986.
