Abstract

Exploring the effects on mental health outcome when individuals who admit they are in need of mental health help and actually do engage in help seeking (versus those who admit a need but do not seek help), in addition to work status may provide support to bolster the education and promotion of help seeking and work engagement. Moreover, counseling psychologists may be best positioned to understand how career and mental health issues interact by addressing the concerns of occupational mental health. The current study examined the effects of actual mental health help seeking and work status on mental health outcome.
