<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Dear Dr. Erby, </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your participation is requested as either a counselor educator, counseling supervisor, or counseling practitioner on a research study entitled “<b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:#1F497D">Practice and instruction of distance counseling:
Educator, supervisor, and counselor perspectives</span></b>.” Distance counseling, also known as telemental health counseling, cyber counseling, e-therapy, and other terms, includes the delivery of counseling services by a qualified practitioner in non-face-to-face
settings, such as videoconferencing, web video platforms, telephone, email, messaging, text, and chat.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>I am seeking feedback from all counselor educators, supervisors, and practitioners, ranging from those who have no experience with distance counseling practice to those with extensive experience in distance counseling</i></b>. Educators,
supervisors, and practitioners from all counseling specialties and settings are encouraged to participate. The purpose of this survey is to understand the extent to which counselor educators, supervisors, and practitioners have been trained in distance counseling
and utilize distance counseling in their practice, supervision, and teaching, as well as, their beliefs on the need for training. This research has been funded by a grant from the North Atlantic Regional of the Association of Counselor Education and Supervision
(NARACES), and has been approved by the IRB at St. John’s University (Protocol #: 11118-169). A detailed inform consent is included in the link below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I am writing with two requests. </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1) Please click on (or copy/paste) the link below and complete the confidential survey. It is estimated that the survey takes less than 15 minutes to complete and participants have an opportunity to enter a drawing to win one of four Amazon
gift cards. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) Please share this link with your colleagues and peers, including faculty, site supervisors, and professional counselors. I am happy to provide an IRB approval letter upon request.<o:p></o:p></p>
