As an NBCC MFP Fellow, Ms. Vazquez will obtain funding and instruction to assistance her education and facilitate her service to underserved minority populations.

The NBCC MFP is created possible by a grant awarded to NBCC by the Substance Abuse and Mental Overall health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in August 2012. The Foundation is contracted by NBCC to administer the NBCC MFP, as well as instruction and collaboration activities that will be open to all National Certified Counselors. The purpose of the system is to strengthen the infrastructure that engages diverse people in counseling and increases the quantity of skilled counselors providing powerful, culturally competent services to underserved populations.

The NBCC MFP has distributed $ 20,000 education awards to Ms. Vazquez and the 23 other doctoral-level counseling students chosen to get the fellowship award. Rebecca Vazquez is a graduate of Rider University and the College of New Jersey, and has been accepted to Regent Universitys counselor education and supervision plan. She at present operates as the bilingual coordinator for Womanspace, exactly where her function focuses on domestic and sexual violence, particularly inside the Spanish-speaking community. Her clinical interests include trauma, culture and faith. Her ambitions as an NBCC MFP Fellow contain teaching collegiate-level courses on trauma, advocating for trauma-informed care, and becoming an abolitionist for human sex trafficking survivors.

The Foundation plans to open the next NBCC MFP application period in December 2013. To find out far more about the NBCC MFP and its fellows, please pay a visit to http://www.nbccf.org/mfp.
