12nth Annual Adult Educators
Conference on May 6th
Starting, Strengthening, and Maintaining
Comprehensive Student Assistance Programs (SAP)
Equal Access to Prevention
Starting, Strengthening, and Maintaining
Comprehensive Student Assistance Programs
• STARTING: By listening to and using
student/family strengths to meet their needs,
SAP helps students own their
education. Owners are careful with their time
and effort; when one student benefits, they
often want other students to have access to the
same support.
• STRENGTHENING: Comprehensive SAP
programs can be organized in ways that every
student receives something, vulnerable
students receive more, and students at high
risk receive individualized services.
• MAINTAINING: This workshop shares
successful prevention models (even in tough
fiscal times) that sustain because
students/families own their SAP.

Definition of SAP
“A Student Assistance Program is a comprehensive
school-based program for students (K-12) designed
to identify issues which prevent students from
learning and being successful in school.
SAP provide education, prevention, early identification,
intervention, referral and support groups.”
(Help is Down the Hall by Jim Crowley)

treatment comes after.
