The Counseling and Human Development Foundation (CHDF) is the only national philanthropic organization whose sole purpose is the enhancement of individual human development by conducting and fostering programs of research and education in counseling and human development. A 1991 review decided future focus of resources should be on research, professional development, and public awareness/recognition. The research agenda for the 90s concentrates on advocacy research which documents what professional counselors do thus demonstrating the advantages of employing professional counselors and efficacy/outcome research which answers two basic questions: What works? What works best? CHDF's efforts in the area of professional development will focus on expanding professional counselors' skills and understanding of research techniques and grant review procedures. To increase public awareness of the important role of professional counselors, CHDF will develop and implement a Community Disaster Response Program aimed at mobilizing counseling support in times of crisis, such as war, hurricanes, and riots.
