Starting in 2018, Springfield Public Schools is partnering with several community organizations to provide additional supports in our schools. We are very thankful to work in collaboration with local organizations such as The Child Center, Direction Service, Looking Glass, Ophelia’s Place, Oregon Community Programs and CAHOOTS's Mobile Mental Health Resource Clinic to serve our students' mental and emotional health needs right in their neighborhood school.
Also, the Springfield Schools Health Center has two mental health specialists on staff. Call 541.682.3550 for more information or to make an appointment.
