Dear Fellow School Psychologists,

I am posting to invite you to be part of my research project about burnout, self-care strategies and personality traits (Protocol Number: 2603232141). The purpose of the research is to add to the literature review about how self-care and personality traits supports or negates burnout. Participation in this research is voluntary and will take you no longer than 10-15 minutes to complete the survey. This research is intended to satisfy dissertation requirements for the school psychology doctoral degree in the Counseling and Educational Psychology Department at New Mexico State University. Exclusionary criteria include being at least 22 years of age, having at least one year experience (not counting internship year), be currently employed full time as a licensed school psychologist (Master’s Ed.S., or Ph.D.) in a public, private or charter school.

There are no more risks than what you may encounter in your day-to-day activities when participating in this study. However, a potential benefit to participate in this study is becoming or increasing awareness of specific self-care strategies, personality traits and characteristics of burnout. Your participation in this survey will add to the literature review of self-care strategies, personality traits and burnout among school psychologists.

Participation is voluntary, but I hope you will choose to be part of this project!

4/17/2026 A request from Dean Martin-Benne, school psychology student at Western Carolina University

Hello,

I’m hoping to help establish a new area of research for my thesis that concerns how school psychologists are affected by student death by suicide. I’m extremely curious if this could be a previously unknown or underrepresented source of job-related stress for school psychologists and, if so, how best to support them in the wake of a student dying by suicide. To this end, I am asking you to participate in a brief (10-15 minute) anonymous survey that will ask about your experience with student death by suicide (or lack thereof), as well as other related information for the purposes of this research. I greatly appreciate the time taken to read this message, and I will happily answer any questions you have regarding the research or anything else you may want to know before deciding whether to participate, should you wish to. All participants must be able to understand and communicate via written English, and must be actively practicing school psychologists in America.

Thank you,
