Student Assistance Program
The West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District Student Assistance Counseling Program addresses the non-academic needs of students, including, but not limited to:

  • social and family issues,
  • anxiety,
  • stress,
  • mental health, 
  • substance abuse,
  • friendships,
  • peer mentoring,
  • grief/loss,
  • sexual orientation,
  • gender identity,
  • school culture. 

Student Assistance Counselors are confidential counselors who provide prevention and early intervention services to help students and their families receive the help and resources needed for improving overall well-being. The goal is to help students thrive socially, emotionally, and personally in order to live a healthy lifestyle and achieve their full potential.
