Student Assistance Program (SAP)
The Student Assistance Program (SAP) began in October 2005 to help students struggling with substance abuse. Its purpose has grown to include multiple issues that threaten a student's academic and human growth.
Anyone can ask for help. Asking for help is sometimes called making a referral. You can make an anonymous referral for a friend or family member who goes to school at Cavelero Mid High School or Lake Stevens High School. You can also refer yourself.
SAP Referral Forms
The SAP team will anonymously investigate the referral, with the student's knowledge, and attempt to help them. The program is not set-up as a punitive or discipline program but one to truly help kids with any issue(s) that may be negatively impacting their growth as a person.

Mental Health Support Specialists
Each secondary school has a dedicated Student Mental Health Support Specialist. They are here to assist you by providing group and individual support services. They are here to listen, help you navigate support systems, and help you move toward the change you are seeking.
Student Mental Health Support Professionals can help students and/or caregivers understand helpful community resources and learn new ways to cope with student mental health struggles. When it is appropriate, they can work with a student and their family so that they can better communicate and can hear each other’s wants and needs.
