The Macomb Student Support Network is comprised of the Student Assistance Program Network and the Macomb School Counselors Network. It is conducted in cooperation with the Macomb County Counseling association and the Macomb School Social Workers Association.

The Student Assistance Program Network (SAP) provides an opportunity for school personnel to develop an integrated system of care, including prevention, early intervention and support services that address mental health and substance use issues that otherwise result in barriers to student learning and success.

The Macomb School Counselors Network (MSCN) provides an opportunity for school personnel to become familiar with and implement the Michigan Comprehensive Guidance and Counseling Program (MCGC) model.
