The Pennsylvania Network for Student Assistance Services (PNSAS) leads the statewide Student Assistance Program (SAP) by offering valuable resources, promoting best practices, and fostering collaboration. PNSAS provides technical assistance and ongoing support to county systems and SAP professionals - including trainers, liaisons, school teams and staff - to promote student success and well-being.
The Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a team process used to mobilize school resources to remove barriers to learning. SAP is designed to identify academic, social, attendance, substance use, mental health, and other concerns which pose a barrier to student success. The primary goal of the Student Assistance Program is to help students overcome these barriers so that they may achieve, advance, and remain in school.
