Situations such as grief or loss, divorce, addiction, and chronic stress/anxiety can negatively impact a student's academic, emotional and social well-being. A drop in grades, irregular attendance, difficulty in interpersonal relationships, chronic disciplinary problems, etc., may indicate a need for the type of help that the PTHS SAP team can provide.
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a service designed to help students who are having difficulty succeeding in or out of school. Referrals to the SAP team can be made by parents, teachers, administrators, or other students. The PTHS SAP team is composed of trained professionals that include a variety of staff members. The team meets regularly to identify students, gather information, develop interventions to assist the student, and partner with community agencies. All discussions and names are strictly confidential. Once a student is identified, a member of the SAP team contacts the family directly and the process moves forward with parental participation.
Every member of the team is trained in the Student Assistance Model. For more information:
