    1. Tell an adult (teacher, counselor, administrator, staff member, or parent) who can contact the counseling office and/or make a SAP referral.
    2. Make an anonymous SAP referral yourself.  (Drop off a note in the box outside the counseling office)
    3. Encourage your friend to talk with a counselor.
    4. Fill out a referral card and turn it in to the counseling office.  You can get a card from the main office, the counseling office, the nurse, the library or click here to access online SAP Referral.
