CAREER DEVELOPMENT
A large part of our waking hours are spent working.
Career is an important part of a person’s life. It can involve working in the community (such as being an employee or serving as a volunteer), working within the home (such as being a parent or caregiver), or both. Additionally, career can include gaining knowledge and skills related to one’s professional journey such as attending school, serving in the military, or receiving vocational training. While many people experience satisfaction in their work role(s), others experience distress that can contribute to struggles in their relationships with self, others, and the world around them.
Common career issues:
- Choosing a career
- Not fulfilling one’s “calling”
- Getting a job
- Job stress or adjustment issues
- Work fatigue or burnout
- Issues related to job performance
- Workplace politics or relationship issues
- Job dissatisfaction
- Struggles related to career advancement
- Workplace harassment, bulling, or discrimination
- Work-family challenges
- Unemployment
- Workforce re-entry
- School-to-work transition
- Retirement
- Future life planning
There is a connection between career and mental health concerns.
Career issues can influence a person’s mental health, and a person’s mental health can influence career issues. For example, a person who experienced job loss may feel depressed. And, in another instance, a person struggling with depression may have poor productivity which, in turn, can lead to job loss. Because of this reciprocal relationship, career and mental health should both be considered when receiving career counseling services.
We can help get you to the next step on your career journey.
