Student Assistance Program

STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Being a student can sometimes be difficult. Balancing the demands of school, family, and work can be overwhelming. Students frequently experience significant amounts of stress during their professional education. The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine are committed to assisting students in managing these difficult and challenging times. The Student Assistance Program provides support to students in dealing with the pressures and problems they encounter during their academic careers.

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) offers:

Identification, assessment, and diagnosis of personal, family, and school/work-related problems;
Brief counseling and consultation; and
Referral to appropriate and accessible services and resources.

SAP services are private and confidential, in accordance with state law and University policies. All registered Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health students are eligible for SAP services, and there is no cost to students for utilizing SAP services. There may be fees associated with the other services and resources to which you may be referred, though your health insurance usually defrays the cost of such care.

The SAP is a program of the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FASAP), and is conveniently located in the offices of FASAP. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 443-287-7000 or 443-997-7000.
