SAP in Pennsylvania

The student assistance program has been an integral part of Pennsylvania schools since 1984-85!! Take a look at who we are - what was and what is..

PA NETWORK FOR STUDENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES

The Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program is overseen by the PA Network for Student Assistance Services (PNSAS) Interagency, Statewide Staff and Regional Coordinators' team; comprised of representation from the PA Departments of Education (Safe Schools Office), Drug and Alcohol Programs (Division of Prevention and Intervention) and Human Services (Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services).
