“…The LD paradigm considers the person as a "whole" with work context being just one of its components, and therefore addresses all aspects of the person's life, aiming at supporting him/her to achieve a satisfactory career and life. Career adaptability is considered one of the most important resources in the life designing process and, therefore, career interventions based on the life design paradigm aim to foster it [28]. This can be achieved both via individual career counseling and via group career interventions [29].…”

The employment rate of people who face severe mental health issues is extremely low, while the vast majority expresses their willingness to work. There are various obstacles that impede their work re-integration process. Apart from the illnesses’ symptoms and the employers’ stigma, these barriers are strongly associated with the effects of long-term unemployment and the lack of positive psychosocial resources, such as career adaptability and resilience. The present study aims to investigate career adaptability and the resilience of mental health service users who receive career counseling services. The career counseling approach that was used combines elements from the IPS model and the career construction approach that has been developed to address the contemporary world of work challenges. We investigated how mental health service users view themselves in terms of career adaptability and resilience, and which factors contributed to their development or impeded them. We used a qualitative approach, which allows for an in-depth exploration of the participants’ views. Fifteen mental health users who receive career counseling services were interviewed. The results showed that mental health service users believe that they can overcome any difficulties and setbacks when they have adequate support from their social network and when they receive career counseling services. They highlighted the importance of counseling services to maintain their work and cope with stressful events. Further implications of the results regarding vocational rehabilitation of mental health users as means for social inclusion are discussed.

Current conditions in the labor market stimulate the individual to have a negative view of the future. The current working world requires individuals to be more active in their careers today. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between university students' proactive career behavior and their visions about future (hope, optimism, and pessimism). The participants consist of university students in Turkiye. Participants are 435 university students (207 female, 228 male). The age of the participants is between 17-27. The Visions About Future Scale and The Career Engagement Scale were used to collect the data. Pearson Correlation Analysis and path analysis based on Structural Equation Modeling were used in the analyzes. As a result of the analysis, a positive relationship was obtained between visions about future consisting of hope, optimism, and pessimism and proactive career behaviors. In addition, visions about future positively predicted proactive career behavior. Visions about future account for about 30 percent of the variance in proactive career behavior. The obtained result supported that strengthening the visions about future of university students will increase their proactive career behavior. The findings were discussed in the light of the relevant literature and some suggestions were presented to researchers and practitioners.

This article reports the development and psychometric requisites of Design My Future, an instrument assessing future orientation and resilience. Three different studies involving Italian preadolescents were conducted. With the first, the items were developed and the factor structure verified; the second confirmed instrument's multidimensional structure and evaluated its discriminant validity. The third study was conducted to verify the invariance of factorial structure across gender. Results provide strong psychometric support for Design My Future as a valid measure for analyzing middle school students' thoughts about their future orientation and resilience and for career education and career counseling activities.
