Mental Health Resources
Mental Health Matters
At the School District of Spencer, we believe that mental health and well-being are essential to student success. Through partnerships with community organizations and local providers, we work to connect students and families with the support they need. If you are looking for resources or assistance, please reach out to our Student Support Team—we are here to help.
To go above and beyond supporting students' mental health needs, we partner with The Children's Hospital of Wisconsin to provide counseling during school hours. These services will be billed through your insurance provider. Reach out if you feel these services would benefit your child.
