Student Assistance Program - Granite Wellness Centers

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a substance use prevention and early intervention program to support teens who have been referred by the school, the parents or the teen themselves because of a substance use problem. It is offered at no-cost to students, schools and families through a Mental Health Services Act Grant (Placer County) and the Youth Resiliency Project (Nevada County). We offer a 8-week program for high school students and a 5-week program for middle school students.

The Student Assistance Program uses the Mindfulness-Based Substance Abuse Treatment for Adolescents (MBSAT – Sam Himelstein and Stephen Saul) and the Change Company Keep it Direct and Simple (KIDS) curriculums to ground this behavioral support system.

SAP is offered at the participating school site and class schedule varies per site.  Please contact your school principal for more information.
