STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Student Assistance Program seeks to identify emotional problems early so that interventions may be initiated. Short term counseling is provided to assess a student's strengths and concerns. An extensive list of professional resources for outside referrals is available. Crisis intervention is also provided. Parents may call the Counseling Office if they have a concern about their child and wish to speak to the Student Assistance Counselor.
