What about this Panel?

Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction Research Panel WHAT ABOUT THIS PANEL?
The purpose of the Compassion Fatigue and Satisfaction Research (CFASR) Panel is to facilitate research on the costs, benefits, and coping strategies of volunteers and professionals in the helping professions. Those who complete a brief registration form is issued a user name and pass code with access to four rooms. The first room is the Research Room. It includes an array of instruments that the Panel has found to be useful in studying, measuring, and explaining how helpers cope with a wide variety of situations and clients. The Consultation Room provides feedback to the Panel Member about her or his responses. This includes providing the scores from the tests taken, how to interpret them, and some ideas about what to do about it. The Resources Room provides links to a wide variety of links to web sites that can help Panel Members with any issues that emerged from visiting the Consultation Room. The Library is just that. It includes an annotated bibliography organized around issues that frequently emerge from the Consultation Room. It also has links to research articles, reports, and other materials that can be printed, downloaded, or ordered for purchase.

Thus, we are inviting you to collaborate on an on-going study of professionals working with the suffering. This includes social workers, nurses, trauma physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, child protection workers, ministers, family therapists, counselors, and those who work with clients who are suffering from some single or series of traumas and crises in their lives. The data will go into a data bank, stripped of any identity other than your assigned number, and will be used to improve new and existing web-based instruments and, more importantly, begin to answer some of the more challenging questions about who, how, and why people work with the suffering who seem to thrive and are good at what they do?
