Examining Spirituality and Sense of Calling in Counseling Students

This study explored the link between counseling students’ spiritual well-being and sense of calling to the profession. A final sample of 415 counseling students demonstrated significant spiritual well-being (religious and existential) and a strong sense of calling to the counseling profession. Results also indicated that spiritual well-being was predictive of students’ sense of calling to the profession. Implications for counselor training are discussed.
