Mental Health Liaison

Patrick & Henry Community College is deeply committed to supporting the mental and emotional well-being of its students, and a key part of that commitment is the presence of a dedicated Mental Health Liaison, Dr. Hope Callahan. In collaboration with Piedmont Community Services (PCS), P&HCC has brought Dr. Callahan directly to campus, providing students with an essential resource for managing their mental health. She plays a crucial role at P&HCC by offering training sessions, leading mental health awareness activities, and connecting students to both mental health triage and PCS services.

Dr. Callahan’s presence on campus ensures that students have access to confidential counseling services and support in addressing a wide range of mental health challenges, including stress, anxiety, depression, and other personal concerns that may impact their academic performance or overall well-being. Through one-on-one support and referrals to specialized services, Dr. Callahan helps students navigate their emotional health while maintaining focus on their educational goals.

P&HCC’s partnership with PCS through Dr. Callahan strengthens the college’s efforts to provide a comprehensive mental health support system. Whether facilitating mental health workshops or guiding students through crisis situations, Dr. Callahan’s involvement reinforces the college’s mission to create a supportive, healthy, and proactive environment. This resource is a reflection of P&HCC’s recognition that mental health is a critical component of student success, and the college remains committed to ensuring that all students have the tools and support they need to thrive both academically and personally.
