Show, by your actions, that you choose peace over war, freedom over oppression, voice over silence, service over self-interest, respect over advantage, cooperation over competition, action over passivity, diversity over uniformity, and justice over all.

Subject: Research Participation Request (Resiliency)

Dear Counselor Educators and Supervisors.

I am requesting your assistance in distributing the following research participation request among your master's-level counseling students. The purpose of this study is to explore the level of resilience displayed by counseling trainees as measured by the Resilience Scale in relationship to background variables, risk and protective variables, and counseling-program variables.

I am a doctoral candidate of Counselor Education at the University of New Orleans and my interest for researching about resilience among counseling trainees and counseling practitioners was sparked a great deal by my own experience after hurricane Katrina. There are a lot of areas of application of this line of research, which looks at the strengths instead of the weaknesses among counseling trainees and counseling practitioners.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any special interest in the topic or if you want additional information at jrmachuc at uno.edu or my  faculty advisor, Dr. Barbara Herlihy, at bherlihy at uno.edu

Thanks a lot for your help on this matter.

It will take 10 minutes approximately to complete the instrument, which includes a demographic information section, a program variables section, a risk and protective factors section,  and the Resilience Scale.

The purpose of this study is to explore the level of resilience displayed by counseling trainees as measured by the Resilience Scale in relationship to background variables, risk and protective variables, and counseling-program variables.

Your answers will be completely anonymous and the data collected will facilitate to establish a general resilience profile of the master’s-level counseling student population, as well as to identify which background and counseling program factors are more related with the counseling student’s capability to cope with adversity.
