Tuesday, June 25, 2024
7:45 am - 12:00 pm
(AM) PDI #1 Career Construction Counseling for Well-Being and Success
Career construction counseling provides a means for people across life's diverse spectrum to use work to actively master what they passively suffer. Integrating theory and practice, this session engages participants in learning and practicing career construction counseling and its core method of the career construction interview to increase their knowledge and skills in its use. Designed for a general audience.

(AM) PDI #2 Creative Approaches to Supporting Mental Health and Career Decision-Making During Times of Transition
During career transitions both career decision-making and mental health challenges may surface. Therefore, practitioners must be prepared to identify and competently address both. Institute attendees will participate in hands-on creative approaches and role plays to develop assessment, practice, and referral skills informed by career development and art therapy theories.
Barbara Parker-Bell, Florida State University; Debra Osborn, Florida State University
(AM) PDI #3 Strengthening Mental Health Through Effective Career Development: A Workshop for Career Development Practitioners
Join us to learn how practitioners can support and strengthen client mental health. Current research is explored along with models, strategies, and skills supporting client mental health.

Dave Redekopp, Life-Role Development Group Ltd.; Michael Huston, Mount Royal University
(AM) PDI #4 Connecting Our Ways of Working with the Social Determinants of Mental Health
Come explore with us the social determinants of mental health and trauma-informed approaches as they intersect with the work of Career Development professionals. We will look a t the recent directive coming from WHO and the UN on the social determinants of mental health. Drawing on the Healing Systems work of Calderon de la Braca, Milligan and Kania (2024), we will explore a systems approach to career development interventions along a continuum of crisis to prevention. Participants will leave with new trauma-informed strategies for intakes and referrals and how to positively contribute to the mental health of clients. Participants will also leave with tools to support their own mental health while working with clients.

Cognitive Information Processing theory (Sampson, Lenz, et al., 2023; Sampson, Osborn, et al., 2020) accounts for dimensions of career and mental health within the structure of the approach. This PDI will include information on the connection between career development and mental health, a detailed overview of Cognitive Information Processing theory, and an examination of associated interventions. Relevant research and resources such as the recently revised text on the theory will be shared.

(PM) PDI #7 Envisioning Higher Education Student Affairs Professionals as Career Influencers
Tomorrow's students could live to be 100+ years old. Graduates could hold 25+ jobs across industries. With work, mobility will be emphasized over stability. Students will need support preparing for these workplace shifts; this involves encouragement from multiple stakeholders, or career influencers. This session addresses trends and demographics of future work, and outline how student affairs professionals (e.g., faculty and administrators), can employ strategies to become career influencers.
