<p class=MsoNormal>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 <i>Resilience Scale </i>in
relationship to background variables, risk and protective variables, and
counseling-program variables.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>

<span class=apple-style-span>I am writing to request your assistance with my
dissertation study titled Resilience Characteristics of Master’s-level
Counseling Students. This study has been approved by the </span><span

class=apple-style-span> </span><span class=yshortcuts><span

class=apple-style-span> (IRB). 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. If you wish to participate please follow the hyperlink to
complete the survey.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>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.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>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. If you are willing to assist me
with this important part of my study, please click the following link:</span><br>
