Back to school means new classes, new routines, and new opportunities—but some students return carrying challenges that aren’t always easy to see.
Pennsylvania’s Student Assistance Program helps schools identify mental health and substance use concerns and connect students and families with support—an important part of prevention.
Working alongside educators and school staff, trained liaisons from county drug and alcohol offices help make these connections possible.
In 2024–25, more than 17,000 screenings were conducted for substance use and/or mental health concerns—a 14% increase from the previous year. More than 72,000 parent discussions and meetings took place for students referred to the program—an increase of nearly 7%.
As students settle into the new school year, Student Assistance Program teams are there to recognize what students may be carrying and help connect them with the support they need.
