This study examined the clinical effects of career counseling on psychological distress and the role of counselor adherence, working alliance, and client neuroticism in predicting these effects. The 239 participants received an average of 7.81 sessions at a university career counseling center. Among clients with a clinical level of psychological distress (n = 179) at the study's inception, 55.87% recovered, 22.35% improved, 19.55% experienced no change, and 2.23% saw an aggravation of their psychological distress. Results showed that a higher level of counselor adherence to the intervention manual significantly increased the probability that clients recovered or improved as compared to not experiencing significant change. Working alliance did not predict clinical change, nor did it moderate the effect of counselor adherence. Clients who improved had higher levels of neuroticism than clients who recovered. KEYWORDS career counseling, clinical change, counselor adherence, psychological distress, working alliance, INTRODUCTION Studies demonstrate that career-related problems can negatively affect an individual's mental health (Blustein, 2008; Multon, et al., 2001; Robertson, 2013).

Purpose: Research conducted on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on society has revealed the presence of social obstacles arising from the detrimental influence on individuals' emotional and psychological well-being. These adverse effects manifest in several forms, including symptoms of stress, tension, anxiety, concern, melancholy, and depression, alongside the enduring economic difficulties experienced by affected individuals. The proliferation of COVID-19 and the implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) have had a widespread impact, including on parents who express concerns regarding the mental and emotional welfare of their children amidst the MCO. Additionally, parents are experiencing heightened stress levels due to the responsibilities associated with facilitating home-based learning and teaching, commonly referred to as the PdPR. Research limitations/implications: To safeguard the ongoing welfare and contentment of the family, it is imperative to implement remedial measures aimed at mitigating the crises and stress that have been identified among parents amidst the pandemic, with a specific focus on the educational challenges encountered by children in a home-based setting. Practical implications: The present study was undertaken with the aim of identifying the strategies implemented inside families to uphold psychological well-being during the pandemic, as well as evaluating the extent to which these practises are employed. The present investigation was conducted as a survey study. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed quantitative data gathering methods, specifically by distributing questionnaire forms to a purposively selected sample of 516 parents. The collected data was then analysed using descriptive statistics in SPSS, including measures such as minimum, frequency, and percentage. Findings: The findings indicated that a majority of participants consistently engage in prayer and place their trust in a higher power (mean = 3.61) as a means of achieving psychological well-being. Furthermore, within the context of the pandemic, it is possible to identify three distinct stages of well-being practises among families, namely the low, moderate, and high stages. Originality/value: This study is anticipated to be utilised by parents and Muslim families who are grappling with contemporary issues. Furthermore, it is planned to serve as an indication for relevant stakeholders to offer educational resources, assistance, and programmes aimed at fostering family harmony in Malaysia., Introduction The well-being of families plays a pivotal role in fostering a cohesive and thriving society and nation. The contribution of a responsible family member can significantly contribute to the [...]
