Hello VirginiaIndian Subreddit!

I am looking for diverse individuals to complete an online IRB approved survey that will take approximately 15 to 20-minutes. To be included in the study, you must be at least 18 years of age, possess English proficiency, and be living in the United States. The survey has been approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB; STUDY00144682) at the University of Kansas.

The current study is a part of my dissertation research, which examines the relationship between multiple diverse identities and help-seeking intentions for mental health concerns. The study possesses minimal risk and has the opportunity to directly benefit you by obtaining mental health and mental health service resources provided at the end of the online survey. Further, we believe that the information obtained from this study will help us gain a better understanding of how diverse groups perceive and intend to seek mental health services.

The survey is available at the link below:

If you would like additional information concerning this study before or after it is completed, please feel free to contact me by phone or mail. I appreciate your time in completing the survey.

Thank you,

Hello everyone! My apologies in advance if I'm not following the correct posting rules, just let me know and I'll change it. To start out, I am not a member of any tribe, nor do I have any native heritage that I know of. My family has had a farm in the Northern Neck for about 200 years near Warsaw, and I was interested in learning a little about the tribes and peoples that may have been in that same area. Until I found this subreddit, I was actually unaware that there are any active tribes in the area. My schooling completely skipped over the Northern Neck, so I'm happy to learn anything I can. If anyone is interested in sharing what they know, or if you have any questions for me, I look forward to hearing from you!
