Behavioral Health Services For
Students, Faculty
BayCare Life Management's Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a valuable resource for schools, colleges and universities to assist students and faculty who may have personal problems that could affect their school, work or home lives. The program
provides education, prevention, early intervention, professional assessment
and service referrals that best meet the needs of the participant.
With services tailored
to meet specific and unique needs, the program's goal is to keep students in school and help
them cope with emotional problems and stress, sometimes manifested by the use of
drugs and alcohol or other negative behaviors.
The SAP staff supports students in a compassionate, caring
manner, helping them to meet work/life challenges and achieve a positive
academic experience. The Faculty Assistance Program (FAP), a component of SAP,
provides similar assistance to teachers and staff.
If you are currently
a participant of BayCare Life
Management's SAP, you can reach a case manager by
calling 1-800-878-5470.
