State Behavioral Health Help Line
The Department of Mental Health has launched a new Behavioral Health Help Line that people can call or text at 833-773-2445. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week in more than 200 languages. The help line can help individuals and families navigate the behavioral health system and access treatment, including mobile crisis services. District and school leaders are asked to please share this resource with staff, families, and students, where helpful. For more information, please see the FAQ. Anyone with questions or concerns about the help line can email the help line director at Mio.Tamanaha@mass.gov.
Addressing Immigration Concerns
We are steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that every school-aged child residing in Springfield has access to a free public education, as guaranteed by state and federal law. We are dedicated to fostering safe and welcoming schools where students are empowered to learn and thrive and believe these rights apply to all children, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or immigration status. If you have concerns, please see this page provided by SPS for a list of local resources that can help.
