“…Because Physical Self was the least endorsed by participants, a helpful approach for school counselors who are struggling with engaging in health activities may be to create small and meaningful goals to increase their success in this area of wellness. Although Neswald-Potter et al (2013) found a connection to increased wellness due to focusing on health and fun activities, considering a broader definition of wellness is important because individuals may feel frustrated that they cannot be well if they do not have the time or resources to add on to their wellness. These messages may imply that they have failed at wellness if increased engagement is not possible.…”

In the present study, we examined the predictive relationships between individual and organizational factors and multidimensional wellness, as described by the Indivisible Self wellness model. Participants were 297 practicing school counselors from across the United States. Using hierarchical regression analyses, we found predictive relationships between years of experience, race and ethnicity, gender, and amount of time engaged in monthly consultation with several dimensions of wellness.

“…As people operate from a state of wellness they are more engaged in life, their communities, and the world (Myers, Sweeney, & Witmer, ). The field of mental health counseling has given great attention to wellness and the importance of provider self‐care (American Counseling Association, ; Lawson & Myers, ; Lenz & Smith, ; Lindo et al, in press; Myers et al, ; Newswald‐Potter, Blackburn, & Noel, ; Ohrt, Prosek, Ener, & Lindo, ; Roach & Young, ; Smith, Robinson, & Young, ; Wolf, Thompson, & Smith‐Adcock, ; Wolf, Thompson, Thompson, & Smith‐Adcock, ). The Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP; ) has noted that it is important for professional counselors to be mindful of personal wellness and requires counselor education programs to teach counselors‐in‐training (CITs) strategies for assessing and maintaining or improving personal wellness.…”

Professional counseling organizations tout the importance of wellness for counselors and counselors‐in‐training. The authors used a wellness‐focused supervision model with mental health practicum students to assess the model's degree of treatment effect at improving students' wellness over the course of the semester. Participants' demographics included three women, one man, three European Americans, and one Latino/a. Single‐case design results revealed that ongoing wellness‐focused interventions are helpful in improving participants' level of wellness; implications for practice are provided.

“…Also as outlined in the previous section, the challenges and high job demands specific to this group can potentially lead to negative life outcomes, and the role of POS in minimizing such risks would thus be especially important to explore. Majority of the literature so far has focused on practitioner impairment, while not enough attention has been paid to promoting practitioner well-being and identifying protective factors (Neswald-Potter, Blackburn & Noel, 2013).…”

Mental health practitioners in many developing countries are faced with high job demands and a lack of institutional support. Given their high levels of work-related stress, it is important to identify mechanisms that help them to maintain psychological well-being and job satisfaction. Recent research has focused on the role that positive orientation (POS), comprising high life satisfaction, self-esteem and optimism, may play in mediating the negative impact of stress on individual well-being. The present study investigated whether POS predicts mental health practitioners' perceived levels of stress, mental health and job satisfaction. If POS measures a person's tendency to take a positive attitude to life and their ability to cope with difficulties, a high POS could be linked to reduced levels of stress and increased levels of job satisfaction and well-being. This study examined associations between self-reported POS and psychological outcomes in a sample of 100 Malaysian mental health practitioners. Participants including clinical psychologists and counsellors practicing in the country were invited to take part in an online questionnaire. The results showed that POS significantly predicted job satisfaction positively and mental health issues and perceived stress negatively, even when socio-demographic variables were controlled. Overall, we found a strong effect of POS on individual functioning across the sample of mental health practitioners. Our results have implications for improving practitioner wellbeing and job satisfaction.
