Inhaltsangabe

Despite the proliferation of prevention and treatment
programs over the last decade, a great urgency
remains for the correct identification and assessment
of problem behaviors in children and adolescents.
School environments provide an easily accessible
venue for this process. The establishment of
programs in schools to assist students has long been
a staple in American education.
However, the effectiveness of these programs is open
to debate. Student assistance programs are designed
to identify,assess and refer youth to resources
internally and externally. Modeled after Employee
Assistance Programs (EAP) that exist in many
workplaces today,SAP was initially developed to
address chemical use issues among students. Today''s
SAP has evolved to include a variety of services.
SAP provides a link between community resources and
schools to help meet the needs of students and their
families. This work describes and evaluates three
SAP models from an organizational perspective. By
examining the structural differences in each model
this work can provide some useful guidelines for
professionals in education and youth programs prior
to implementation.
