🎓🧡 BEARKAT SPOTLIGHT: Introducing Dr. Joshalyn McHargue!

Please join the SHSU Counselor Education family in celebrating Dr. Joshalyn McHargue on her successful dissertation defense! 🎉🐾

Her dissertation, “Mental Health in the Bible Belt: A Qualitative Exploration of Mental Health Literacy Among Evangelical Christians in the American South,” explores the intersection of faith, culture, and mental health, examining how evangelical Christians understand and navigate mental health within their religious and cultural communities.

Her research contributes to important conversations about mental health literacy, culturally responsive counseling, and the role of faith in shaping perceptions of psychological well-being.

Congratulations, Dr. McHargue! Your commitment to exploring the complexities of faith and mental health represents a meaningful contribution to the counseling profession. We are incredibly proud to celebrate this remarkable milestone with you!
