Community Discussions

This fall, our community has experienced heartbreak with the loss of two of our students. We know the grief, worry, and tough questions being felt across our homes, our neighborhoods and our schools right now, and we are committed to facing this together.

To focus on collective healing and student mental health supports, we are hosting a series of Small-Group Community Roundtables beginning November 10, 2026.

A few key details about these sessions:

• Discussions will be limited to 10–12 adults per session or table. We want to hear your ideas, and our primary focus will be future-oriented and solutions-based.
• These specific roundtables are for parents, guardians, and Dover residents. Dedicated discussions are being held separately for students at school as age-appropriate.
• Once we know how many participants register, we will schedule the times and locations, and contact you directly with your group's details.

To sign up to attend, please complete our brief registration form below by Friday, November 6.

Thank you for your care, partnership, and ongoing dedication to Dover students and families.

SpringVale Health Centers is inviting the Tuscarawas County community to Founders Hall at Kent State-Tuscarawas to join a panel of community providers for an open conversation about building resilience, preventing suicide, behavioral health services, and supporting the well-being of our children, families, and neighbors.

This FREE event is an opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, learn how to recognize when someone may be struggling, and discover where to turn for help.
