I am finishing up my dissertation and need to get my web-based survey out to MFTs in virginia. The other option is to get a national sample of MFTs...Does anyone know how I can get a listing of email addresses, or a way that I can get onto a listserv or anything whether it is for Virginia only or National? I am lost and I am on a tight deadline. Any help would be great! Email me at nunleyrs@yahoo.com if you have any ideas or suggestions. Any ideas about any listservs for licensed professionals (even if not just MFTs would be great)...I AM PANICKED AND DESPERATE!!

Hello! I recently joined VAMFT and am excited to engage in all the activities it has to offer. I am currently finishing up my last semester at UCONN in the MFT program and will be graduating this May. My work with families has centered around adolescent and child issues.

Any assistance I can get in the area of professional contacts would is appreciated. Please contact me at the address listed below.
