Strengthening Mental Health

This book makes the case that career development practice is a mental health intervention and provides skills and strategies to support career development practitioners in their work. It explores how practitioners do far more than help people prepare for, enter and navigate career pathways – they change people’s lives in ways that improve mental health and overall well-being. The authors also emphasize their focus is mental health, not mental illness, and address this distinction in the book.
