Version of Record

Recently, in Japan, the number of mental health illness population has been growing year by year in the business field. Specially, the mental health of working people is getting worse, and the number of people committed suicide has been over 30,000 in these ten years in Japan. This Japanese tragic phenomenon is not normal in today’s global standard, and we should make great efforts to improve working conditions better. According to my counseling case studies in a certain big organization, among these mental health counseling cases of working people, there are a lots of mental cases caused by their career issues, in other words, career stress in working life. Regarding these mental cases, as the career stress is getting stronger, the condition of mental health becomes worse. From this point of view, it is necessary to support career issues and to decrease career stress, which will prevent them from suffering from mental illness and also leaving from the organization because of mental illness, such as depression. In conclusion, it is important to support career development and reduce career stress by both effective mental and career counseling. But, it is not so common for the Japanese working people to be able to get career counseling service in their organizations. The inhouse career counseling room has not developed yet in Japan today. We should care and support working people much more in both mental and career problem solving by integrating mental health counseling and career counseling. In order to realize these kinds of support from both sides, we must promote effective career counseling in Japan.
