Cameron K. Gallagher Mental Health Resource Center

Addressing the growing demand for mental health resources

Our Cameron K. Gallagher Mental Health Resource Center at Virginia Treatment Center for Children is actively addressing the growing demand for mental health services and resources in our community. Thanks to the generous support of the Cameron K. Gallagher Foundation, we serve as a hub for education, resources and support. 

Our services

Parent and child classes and groups

Our one-hour virtual groups are designed to provide hands-on, real-life resources and skills to help families thrive. Groups are facilitated by mental health professionals from Virginia Treatment Center for Children and Cameron K. Gallagher Mental Health Resource Center. Sessions include a presentation and open Q&A session where participants can ask questions anonymously through the chat function. 

Group details

Registration and Zoom link access 

Registration is required. Participants will receive a Zoom link once they register.  

Community education and engagement

Mental health matters – let's keep the conversation going! Our team is dedicated to engaging with and educating our community while also breaking down the stigma that often surrounds mental health. We provide event speakers and interactive education throughout the community. Contact Nicole Cook, LCSW, LMHP for more information. 

Care coordination

Care navigation previously provided through the resource center is now provided by VTCC's care coordination team. The team helps ensure families understand their mental health care options along with resources and services that are available in the community. Call 804-828-9897 to speak with a care coordinator. 

Important note for health care providers: VMAP has launched! CMHRC no longer processes referrals from providers. VMAP provides health care providers with immediate psychiatry consults, mental health resources and care navigation.
