SAP Liaison Handbook

DDAP’s Prevention Workgroup, in collaboration with additional representatives from PNSAS and SAP liaison agencies, has developed a SAP Liaison Handbook. This handbook was modeled after the Prevention Staff Handbook that was created two years ago. This SAP Liaison Handbook is a customizable tool for outlining important information, resources, documents, and tasks that SAP liaisons may be responsible for. We hope the handbook may be a particularly useful tool to improve the transfer of knowledge and information from existing liaisons to new liaisons. We encourage agencies to make the handbook their own by customizing the Word version to reflect the roles, responsibilities and resources relevant to their liaisons.

The handbook can be found on DDAP’s website
