Student Assistance Program

• Referral Form

Brophy College Preparatory’s Student Assistance is a program designed to identify and address students’ problems that manifest themselves in school; problems that interfere with learning and/or are harmful to self or others.   This comprehensive Student Assistance Program (SAP) is designed to impact the entire school community:   classroom and co-curricular activities, as well as students, staff, and parents.

Brophy College Preparatory’s SAP is a structured, organized program designed to identify and address students who might be troubled by physical, chemical, emotional, spiritual, sexual, familial and/or educational problems.

The goals of the SAP are:

• to identify students in need
• to intervene on their behalf at the earliest stages of dysfunctional behavior
• to work cooperatively with parents and outside agencies to help facilitate   appropriate resolutions

The SAP is available to all students.   Students are encouraged to seek assistance in determining if unsatisfactory performances within the school community are a result of personal, familial or social problems.

Teachers, staff members, parents and students are encouraged to access the SAP if they are concerned about a student, friend or family member.

Referral forms are located at various locations throughout the campus or on the school’s website.   Completed Assistance Referral Forms (ARF) should be placed in one of the locked referral boxes, or may be mailed to BCP c/o SAP.   If you would like to speak personally with someone about the program, please contact Ms. Karen Parise, 602.264.5291 x.6291 or Ms. Mary Novak, 602.264.5291 x.6481.
