      Acknowledgments

      I want to offer my sincerest gratitude to the following individuals who reviewed the work I created for my pandemic risk and resiliency continuum theoretical model and to those who submitted a “Pandemic Perspective” for this book. I invited a review and comment from a panel of individuals who had expertise in the areas of disaster mental health and trauma counseling, counselor education, behavioral sciences, epidemiology, and public health and those who have worked with the medical, psychosocial, and vocational aspects of chronic illness and disability. I requested their critical review because of the respect I have for their impressive careers and body of work, which assisted me in developing a stronger book.
