Mental Health Services

The Springboro Schools Mental Health Department views mental health and wellness as an important part of students' development and success. 

Raising children is difficult. When we work together with families, we can provide helpful input and resources to make it easier.

Our students are encouraged to talk to their guidance counselor, school nurse, or administrators when stressors arise. If problems become more significant, our Mental Health Department staff, which includes a mental health coordinator, three resource coordinators, contracted mental health therapists, and, at times, outside professionals, is able to further evaluate the situation. 

Through collaboration with students and their families, we provide support for potential barriers to success and continue working together to fully resolve the issue. 

Resource Coordinators

Resource coordinators help eliminate non-academic barriers to students' learning. They help families with food, attendance issues, clothing, housing, insurance, kinship services, etc.

Children’s personal and family difficulties affect how they are doing socially and academically at school. Resource coordinators can assist students in becoming more successful in school and help families learn more about resources that may help.

Resource coordinators can assist with:
  •      Helping families and schools work together through difficult times
  •      Helping families find community resources that will promote family stability and help a child be more successful in school
  •      Improving attendance
  •      Encouraging families to increase participation in their child’s academic life
Resource coordinator services include:
  •      Visiting with a family at home
  •      Meeting with a student at school
  •      Accompanying a family in obtaining a needed resource when helpful
  •      Advocating for student/family needs
  •      Researching what services may be available to assist a family and a child

Wellness Committee

The Wellness Committee was formed to fulfill the ODE guidelines and respond to the growing recognition of the integral role that health plays in academic success and overall quality of life. We are committed to creating a school culture that prioritizes wellness and providing resources, support, and educational opportunities for our school community.

Key objectives of the committee include: 

We believe that enhancing physical health, supporting mental health, promoting social and emotional well-being, and building healthy nutritional habits are essential to the success of our district. As part of our efforts, the Wellness Committee meets two-three each year.

If you are interested in learning more about the Wellness Committee or getting involved, please contact Wendy Grothjan, Mental Health Coordinator.

We look forward to working together to make Springboro Schools a place where everyone can thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.

The Wellness Committee convened on October 31, 2024, January 16, 2025, and February 20, 2025, to review Wellness Policy 8510 and evaluate student wellness within our district. Presented below are the assessment results and the wellness policy.
