Substance Use Navigator (SUN)

The SUN is a confidential resource designed to serve as a bridge between schools, families, and community supports, helping ensure students receive timely, coordinated, and compassionate care.

Additional Needs: Providing a safe space if students are seeking information, looking to make positive changes, are returning to school after time away for treatment, or simply need someone to talk to.
