In 2008, July was declared Bebe Moore Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. We have recognized it since it was brought to my attention 4 years ago. During this event, our goal is to dispel myths regarding Mental Health and bring about awareness to mental health issues that affect minority communities disproportionally as well as collectively.

Speakers

Rev. Glen Dixson, MDiv, BCC.

Rev. Glen serves as a clinical chaplain in the Central Texas VA Healthcare System. He came to Central Texas in 2002, by way of the United States Army. Glen answered the call to ministry in 2002 and began serving in the Christian House of Prayer in 2003. He was licensed and ordained by the late Bishop Nathaniel Holcomb in 2008, which was also the year he responded to the call to chaplaincy. He earned his Master of Divinity degree from George W. Truett Seminary at Baylor University in 2016. He has completed five units of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE). Upon completion of a four-unit residency at Baylor Scott and White Health (BSWH) in 2016, he was selected to join the team as a staff chaplain. He served BSWH as the Supportive and Palliative Care chaplain for a little over four years at the organization’s Hillcrest campus in Waco, TX.

Chaplain Glen transitioned from his full-time staff position to a part-time position in order to be closer to home and more available for his young son. It was at this time that he was also selected to join the Central Texas VA Healthcare System as a fee basis chaplain. After serving as a fee basis chaplain for several months, he was called to fulfill a full time opening at the beginning of 2021. Chaplain Glen has served childhood and adult patient populations in level II trauma hospitals, and has also served adult populations in acute medical settings, hospice, palliative care, and mental health. He currently facilitates two groups at the VA’s Domiciliary: Meaning and Purpose; and Grief and Loss. He co-facilitates a virtual Moral Injury Group with a Psychologist from Mental Health..

Chaplain Dixson enjoys weight lifting, traveling, singing, and baking. He and his wife have been married 23 years and have one son.
