The Vision of ASAP-NJ is that every young person
and family in New Jersey will have access to
effective and responsive Student Assistance
Program services.
What
We Do...
SAP's provide curriculum development and

intervention, referral and prevention services
for students exhibiting high-risk behaviors such
as substance use and other addictive behaviors.
SAP's provide a variety of services within
schools. Some SAP's function as coordinators

development. Others provide direct services such
as working one-on-one with students or with
students in groups. SAP's also work for the
prevention of violence in the schools and the
communities. Here are some other examples of
what SAP's may do:
