Whether your family is navigating everyday stress, parenting questions, grief, financial or legal concerns, or simply needs help figuring out the next step, the School Assistance Program provides one convenient place to start. Support includes 24/7 counseling assistance, financial and legal consultations, parenting support, elder care resources, and additional well-being services.
The School Assistance Program is available year-round and is not just for times of crisis. It is designed to help PPS families through everyday challenges as well as more difficult moments.
All services are free and confidential. Portland Public Schools is not notified when you use the program, what services you access, or why you reached out.
Pine Rest provides counseling and mental health services to more than 50 schools and offers access to a broad range of resources for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
At Portland Public Schools, we believe that supporting the well-being of our school community helps our students and families thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
