I am reaching out in an attempt to secure some final participants for my dissertation. I would appreciate your support in forwarding my study along to eligible students, especially those enrolled in Counseling Skills or Practicum courses. Please feel free to
respond to me if this has already been distributed through your program communication channels and I will remove you from my contact list.</div>

I hope this message finds you well. I am following up on a previous email regarding my dissertation research. I found your contact information online through the CACREP program directory and wanted to reach out again in case my previous message was missed,
or you have not yet had the chance to forward it to eligible students.</div>

I am a Counselor Education and Supervision doctoral candidate at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, conducting an IRB-approved study exploring self-compassion and professional quality of life among graduate counseling students in CACREP-accredited programs.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="margin: 0in 0in 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Eligible participants are master's-level clinical or school counseling students currently enrolled in a counseling skills course, practicum, or internship at a CACREP-accredited program. Participation involves completing a confidential online survey through
Qualtrics (approximately 15-20 minutes). It is intended to be entirely voluntary and not meant to impact students’ academic standing, course grades, or relationships with instructors, supervisors, mentors, or the researchers.</div>
