Our Lady of the Lake University was honored by Northside Independent School District at its Annual Partnership Awards on April 15, 2026, in recognition of a partnership that has made a lasting difference for children and families. Since 2015, OLLU’s Psychology Department has worked with NISD to operate a Family Therapy Clinic at Driggers Elementary School, providing free services to NISD families every Wednesday evening during the fall and spring semesters.
The clinic was established by Dr. Deborah Healy following her retirement from NISD, where she served as Director of Guidance and Counseling Services. With Dr. Bernadette Solorzano and OLLU Marriage and Family Therapy graduate students offering direct support on site, the program has continued for 11 years and has served hundreds of families across the district.
This recognition highlights the strength of the OLLU-NISD partnership and the university’s commitment to community care, student training, and accessible mental health support. Through this enduring collaboration, OLLU continues to live out its mission by serving families and strengthening the well-being of the broader San Antonio community.
