Kim Gilliam is presenting on The Psychology of Job Loss, does personal life im-pact work life? Does work life impact person life? Research has shown that the two are inter-related and inter-dependent yet counselors do not fee adequately trained in career counseling and report low self-efficacy in performing it. It is nec-essary to understand this relationship in order to provide contextually accurate treatment. The focus of this particular workshop will address the impact of job loss on the whole individual and their sense of identity, worth, and purpose. A firsthand account of the men-tal health struggles of an individual who lost his job when a factory in Ohio closed will be presented.
