Dr. Wade is an associate professor at Danville Area Community College in the liberal arts division. He teaches courses in sociology and psychology and has more than twelve years of experience as a mental health professional, community advocate, corporate trainer, and educational consultant. In 2022, Dr. Wade created the Connection Café at his college to educate and facilitate community dialogue about mental health challenges to break the stigma that causes many people to not seek help. Between May 2022 and September 2023, Dr. Wade provided community education and presentations on the following topics: Understanding Trauma; Helping Yourself or Others with Mental Health; Suicide Prevention and Awareness; Male Depression, Substance Abuse, and Suicide; Work, Life, and Mental Health; Anxiety, Worry, Concern & Depression; and Family Communication and Mental Health. The Connection Café is built on the philosophy that education, coffee, conversation, togetherness, and human connection can lead to health and wellness for individuals and the community.
