First Year of New Student Assistance Model a Success!
Last year, the PSESD Prevention Center's Student Assistance Prevention-Intervention Specialist Program (SAPISP) partnered with the Tobacco Prevention Program to provide high quality direct services to secondary schools throughout the region. This was a change from previous years where funds were allocated to the districts to individually develop services.
This “new way of doing business” streamlines service delivery, support school efforts more efficiently, and improves student outcomes towards alcohol, tobacco and other drug-free schools in our region. After one year operating with this model, we are proud to announce positive outcomes!
