Ready for a new chapter? Let’s turn the page together.
When you need help with your mental health, it’s important to have a place to turn for resources and connections to treatment. In Springfield and Greene County, we are fortunate to have many organizations dedicated to improving mental health, and when we come together, we are stronger than we are alone.
In 2023, a group of community organizations launched Mental Health 417—a local, online, interactive resource hub for people seeking treatment, information and education related to mental health.
It started small, with the intention of growing. In the two and a half years since launch, we saw more and more potential for what Mental Health 417 could be for the community.
Now, in 2025, we’re introducing the brand-new Mental Health 417.
You are the author of your mental health story
The mission of Mental Health 417 is to help people become authors of their own mental health story by providing easy, comprehensive access to the resources they need so they can feel hopeful and supported about their next chapter.
With new site features like an event calendar, Community Voices blog for personal stories, and a treatment finder that allows you to navigate by filter types, Mental Health 417 is positioned to be a one-stop destination that connects you to the mental health help and education you need.
We envision a community where no one feels alone in their mental health story, because they know where to turn when they’re ready to turn the page.

What we value
As you interact with Mental Health 417, know that these values drive everything we do:
Support
We stand strong when you need someone to lean on. We back our community by providing a platform that upholds and advocates for each person’s right to author their own mental health stories.
Wellness
Practicing wellness well means doing it daily, deliberately, and with dedication. We think a focus on mental health is an important part of wellbeing and should be a theme of daily life.
Collaboration
We bring together tools and resources, but more importantly we bring together people. We connect individuals with mental health experts and a community that cares.
Respect
We have the connections, we have the resources, but most of all, we have your back. We see intrinsic worth in every person, regardless of background or circumstances, and provide inclusive resources for all.
Compassion
We believe in being kind whenever possible and we believe it’s always possible. We back the narrative that people should feel comfortable and safe on their mental health journey.
