Point of Contact
Each school is assigned a program manager as its point of contact. The program manager will respond to any questions counselors have about ACCESS. These experts will provide onsite training for school personnel, students, and parents. To schedule time with your point of contact program manager, please contact the ACCESS Support Center for more information.

Counselors should refer to the ACCESS policy manual for more information. The major responsibilities of the counselor are as follows:
