Where Does Applied Research Fit Into Your Future?

As you look ahead to your future as a professional counselor, consider how program evaluation promotes and sustains improvements in delivering mental health services. How do you see yourself implementing the research and evaluation skills you have learned in order to promote best practices? Consider the following possibilities:

• Will you engage in action research in your community? YES 
• Will you will be asked to help write a grant or to administer one? NO
• Will you assist with the collection and analysis of data at your site in order to demonstrate your agency's effectiveness? YES 
• Will you adapt counseling programs described in published efficacy studies for use in your own community? YES 

Share your vision of how you see research fitting into your future as a professional mental health counselor. Use and cite the readings from this course that you find particularly helpful when envisioning your future possibilities.

ADD HELP for this Paper 

I have been a part of two different studies one is called a DASA this study is a current on going study for teens. This study pertain to teens and depression in the inter city for children ages 12-17. Right now I complete the surveys with each client, and their teacher that comes to our practice. When working at beachbrook agency I complete a lot of different studies that pertain to children with mental illness. I have seen a lot of different programs at the agency that I work at that I would like to do a evaluation on. As for research yes I would like to become a part of mental illness research I just do not know how. As of now I see research being part of my profession if a research study is being done and I can be a part by doing the surveys like a entry level researcher for now, once I am a therapist for about 3 years I can see myself advancing in research. I need mach more knowledge, experience, and practice.
