Student Assistance Program: Mental Health Support for Every Student. Services Provided by Virtual Peace of Mind. A VDOE approved Virgnia-based provider.

Chesapeake Public Schools is committed to the behavioral and mental well-being of every student. We are proud to announce that our Student Assistance Program (SAP) now provides all K-12 students access to free, confidential tele-mental health services. To participate, parents must complete an intake form and submit proof of enrollment in our district. These voluntary services are available outside of school hours—including before/after school, weekends, and school breaks—to support student well-being at no cost to families. For more details on this Student Assistance Program (SAP), please visit our website at https://www.cpschools.com/o/cps/page/sap.
