the Book: Exploring San Antonio History in the Tricentennial |
by ROBERT
RIVARD - The Rivard Report | Pub: 01/08

San Antonio is a city steeped in its own rich history. That could be written about any 300-year-old urban center,
especially one founded along a river where indigenous people dwelled for thousands of years before European settlement. Not many cities, however, make history so easy to see and experience as San Antonio, one of only two U.S. cities with UNESCO World Heritage
recognition.

Foundation
Volunteer Explores the Power of Vulnerability |

FOUNDATION - Foundation Connections | Pub: 01/08

Five years ago, NBCC Foundation volunteer Jessica Lloyd-Hazlett and her colleague Karena Heyward began an ongoing
reflective discussion on the topic of vulnerability in the counseling profession. Over time, the discussions provided a great source of self-care as the two counselors helped one another through difficult times and grew in their understanding of the value
of being open to their own vulnerability.
