Student Assistance Program (SAP)

SAP is designed to assist in identifying barriers to learning including alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, and mental health issues. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to help students overcome these barriers. SAP supports students in school, but also works to connect students and families to outside resources to help them negotiate some of life’s most tumultuous storms.

HCP provides Student Assistance Program trained liaisons that serve in all of the middle and high schools in Franklin and Fulton County. Liaisons provide one-on-one student screenings for mental health and substance abuse concerns, group sessions with a variety of themes, and SAP Team consultation within each school. Call HCP to find more information about your school's liaison.

How to Refer a Student

You can refer a student in one of two ways:

1. By completing the online referral form below.

Teachers, principals, and school counselors all have access to referral forms. You can confidentially turn in referrals to any of these school personnel or your school’s secure drop box (if available).

Emergency situations should be IMMEDIATELY brought to the attention of a SAP Team Member, School Administrator, OR School Counselor (if in school). Otherwise, contact 911 or Crisis Intervention (toll-free at 866-918-2555) for emergency situations.
