- Provide at least two examples of how career issues can manifest as or exacerbate mental health concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, low self-esteem).
- Integrate at least one theory (e.g., Super’s Life-Span Life-Space, Holland’s Theory, Cognitive Information Processing) to support your explanation.
- Conclude with how you plan to incorporate career counseling into your future practice, regardless of your primary clinical setting.

You also must write in in APA format (times new roman font, 12 inch font, double spaced, 1 inch margins, title page, references page). 3-4 pages written in list format will not be accepted.
