The SAM will serve as a peer support person for members of an athletic team. The purpose of the SAM program is to offer a confidential support mechanism to help student athletes who might need assistance with a number of issues such as alcohol or drug use, eating disorders, academic difficulties, abuse, etc. The SAM program is open to any member of a Salve Regina University intercollegiate team.
Training is provided at monthly meetings throughout the school year.
The SAM program can make a difference. It is an ideal position for highly motivated student athletes who want to get more involved with their teammates. The team captain provides peer leadership on our athletic teams. This student athlete acts as a go between for the players and the coaches. Serves as a role model and assumes leadership responsibilities as assigned by the head coach.
