Counseling with Career Concerns in Mind (WNBC1029)

Career development is closely linked to client and student mental health in both the clinical mental health and school counseling settings (Blustein, 2019; Hutchison, Wambu, & Leigh-Osroosh, 2022; Redekopp & Huston, 2020). Participants will learn about common career concerns connected to their school and clinical mental health counseling practice along with three theory-based interventions to address them. The webinar offers engaging educational content using real-world case examples and demonstrations of interventions that consider developmental age and cultural context when planning career interventions in the context of both school and mental health counseling.
