Student Assistance Program (SAP)
The primary goal of the SAP is to help students overcome barriers so that they may achieve, remain in school, and advance. SAP is a systematic process using techniques to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning. The core of the program is professionally trained to identify problems, determine whether or not the presenting problem lies within the responsibility of the school and to make recommendations to assist the student and the parent. When the problem lies beyond the scope of the school, the SAP team will assist the parent and student so they may access services within the community. The student assistance team members do not diagnose, treat, or refer to treatment; but they may refer for a screening or an assessment for treatment.
At Chartiers Valley, we contract with Maximizing Adolescent Potentials (MAPS) to provide screenings for our students when necessary. MAPS is a research, public service, and training program dedicated to the prevention of drug and alcohol problems among youth, the promotion of adolescent mental health, and the development of capable young people.
School personnel, peers, students themselves, or family members may refer students to SAP. Any person who is concerned about a student is encouraged to refer that student by completing the referral forms online.
Some signs and symptoms of students who may be referred are:
