Student and Family Assistance Program
Student & Family Assistance Program (SFAP)
The School District of South Milwaukee and Aurora Health Care have partnered together to provide the Student and Family Assistance Program (SFAP) as a FREE benefit for all families and students of the School District of South Milwaukee. (Access SFAP brochure here)
The SFAP is 100% confidential as specified by both state and federal laws. There is no cost to the student or family member for any services provided by the SFAP.
The SFAP offers in-person or phone consultations with master’s level counselors. Families that use the SFAP can receive (up to) six sessions per issue. Many issues can generally be resolved within the SFAP itself. If other referrals are needed, your SFAP counselor will connect you to community resources and/or insurance-based providers.
To schedule any consultations, or to access other SFAP services, call 800-236-3231 and mention you are a family in the School District of South Milwaukee. A parent or legally responsible adult must call to schedule services through the SFAP.
The School District of South Milwaukee recognizes that a healthy home and family life helps to nurture academic excellence, and we hope that families will find this service beneficial.
