STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) at LUHS offers students and their families’ access to substance abuse services that include education, prevention,  intervention, screening, assessment and referrals. Working with the guidance staff, faculty, administration and community  resources, the SAP counselor is able to help students overcome any struggles they might have as a  result of substance use. For some students this help is due to their own substance use, for others it is due to substance use within their families or by friends. The SAP Counselor, Mr. Bouchard is available to consult  with parents, answer questions and offer support or encouragement to anyone experiencing problems related to substance abuse and addiction.
 

Although the SAP counselor is a Licensed Substance Abuse Clinician, and the focus of Mr. Bouchard’s position is related to substance abuse, students may access his services for a variety of other reasons. Serving as part of the guidance staff, Mr. Bouchard spends time with students helping  them  negotiate those adolescent years that are often difficult and frustrating. There are many things that can prevent students from being successful in school; attendance, behavior, issues within families, depression and relationship problems to name a few. For some students, these problems may be the result of substance use or they may lead to such a choice. The student assistance program was developed to help students be more successful in school and to  help students access any necessary services that would help them in that endeavor.
