I am looking for ways to conduct my research and instruments that will enable me to effectively measure the results. I am finding the toolbox a very streamlined way to processes that might be useful. If anyone is aware of any research already existing which may help me in this project, I would be very greatful for the information.

    I'm not yet, but I am very interested in your approach. I am working on a proposal to help fund hospital-based support groups for family caregivers that seeks to bring that consitiuency together for 1)psychosocial/spiritual support 2)practical education, and 3)resourcing with other institutions/initiatives/services doing outreach to this community. My own observation has been that families with long-term critically ill members, either in home-care or nursing homes, are isolated from larger community and face sometimes sustained periods of dislocation and change with little, if any, support. In effect, looking at the difficult interface of wellness and end-of-life issues in family and community systems.

This industry will accrete minerals out of seawater for use in (initially) artificial bone for transplants and in (later) other uses for this low-cost material, such as construction elements and a new medium for artists. (More information on request.) I am about to graduate (June 1) from College of the Redwoods with an AS degree in electronics technology (microcomputer option).
    I just discovered this valuable resource, but am wondering why I can't access all of the sections. Can you explain this? (If you like, you can edit out everything after the word "resource" and put a period there for inclusion in the guest book.)

I am a nurse, I have never done such work, but this website makes it possible for me to feel like it is possible to surmount the difficulties of placing three hospitals, two hospices, two family health centers and representives from several other agencies at the same table, rise above territorial and political issues and find a common path to our shared goal of improving the care we give to the dying. I thank you for all your efforts.

    The Community Development Foundation is a small group working for the main part with Indigenous Australians.

In doing so the CDF works with the parents to obtain postive outcomes for students. We work in the areas of: 1) education 2) justice 3) commerce and trade and have 4) some federal funding.
    I am going to work/read the Ctoolbox over the january period. You appear to work in a similar way to CDF and I am hoping that we have found a common bond as the CDF is both successful but alone in Western Austrlaia in its methods.

Our department does yearly strategic planning. The divisions don't work real well together. I have been gathering information on team building from your site. It is very good and I hope I can do it justice! What I am looking for are some examples of bonding activities that don't take a significant amount of time. Our strategic planning sessions last one day and time is precious. Would you know of any activities we could use to build team bonds? Thank you for your time, your site, and your consideration.
