Why is a Student Assistance Program necessary?
If not you... who? Most parents want their children to come to them first in difficult times. Unfortunately, many parents realize that they can be the "last to know" when their child needs emotional support. Instead of talking with qualified adults, most young people rely on their friends for guidance.
Easy access to confidential, qualified support may help facilitate healthy decision making.
