Using Life Design With Vulnerable Youth

Abstract

Career counseling processes normed for Western contexts may not fully address the needs of vulnerable youth in disadvantaged, non‐Western contexts. Therefore, this study examined the utility of a narrative career counseling process within the life‐design paradigm for assisting a former street child to successfully shape his future career narrative. Report of a case study suggested that the life‐design process assisted the client in designing a future career narrative that would enhance his quality of life. Although the study is based on 1 particular case, the findings may have significance for improving career counseling for vulnerable individuals.
