Clients with mental health conditions: a challenge for career guidance practice.
  This article explores meeting the needs of clients with mental health conditions and seeks to establish this group as one of particular interest to career guidance practitioners. The issues are introduced in broad terms by looking at the incidence, significance and nature of mental health conditions in the community. The links between mental health conditions and socio-economic disadvantage are highlighted, together with a consideration of the role of work in recovery. The potential contribution of guidance emerges from this discussion. Issues related to young people and unemployed adults are differentiated. Finally implications for practitioners and for career guidance service providers are suggested.
