SOC 21-1011
Substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellors form a US BLS combined statistical and occupational description category covering counselling support for addiction, behavioural problems and mental health. The actual work includes understanding needs, developing and reviewing plans, recording progress, coordinating resources and professional collaboration; the specific method, education, licensing and responsibility differ by direction, state and institution. Exploring the corresponding work in China requires checking the statutory boundaries of psychological counselling, social work and medical tasks separately.
Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((25+25+75)/3+0.5)=42; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.
Observe the concrete behaviour of listening, plan records, status updates and accepting supervision. Being able to separate the goal, what has already happened and the arrangements still to be confirmed is a starting point for exploration; one fictional exercise cannot prove professional judgment or a practice licence.This page uses the US SOC21-1018 combined category, which does not mean the three counselling directions have exactly the same tasks or entry requirements. The adjacent Chinese anti-drug social work sample also does not confer psychotherapy or diagnostic authority.
The exploration prompt does not constitute a psychological diagnosis, an ability certification or a hiring judgment. Any real service requires checking the local law, the training level and the institutional responsibility.
What is worth observing is the ability to understand different needs, organize the original expression, the existing plan and the new feedback, and then write the progress and the next step with a basis. The wish to help has to become action that is accurate, respectful and within the duties.Observable signals include: a willingness to understand the expression first rather than rushing to persuade; reading the plan and then still checking the latest records; being able to point out on receiving feedback whether the goal, the date, the status or the wording needs to change; and not writing an unanswered item as completed. When facing a task you have not been trained for, you can state it honestly and find the authorized responsible person, rather than promising an outcome to look capable.
The US combined category covers addiction, behavioural problem and mental health counselling support, including plan review, progress records, resource referral and professional coordination. The specific work is defined by direction, training, state licensing and institutional division of work; work in China requires separate checks of law and post identity.
The following is divided into two editorial summary processes, plan progress review and resource linkage. They help in understanding the work object and output and are not a uniform clinical procedure or treatment steps that an individual can follow.
Career direction comparison
First separate this page's two directions, substance abuse and behavioural disorder and mental health, then look at the separate identities of psychology, family therapy, rehabilitation and social work. The US BLS combined statistic does not mean the training, service methods and licensing are the same, and Chinese job conditions are checked separately.
| Occupational direction | Core work and outputs | Key difference | Which choice suits better |
|---|---|---|---|
| Substance abuse and behavioural disorder direction | Provide addiction or behavioural problem support, plans and progress records under the corresponding duties. | A direction within the SOC21-1018 combined category, with education, state licensing and institutional scope checked separately. | Willing to listen, keep following up and understand the training requirements of that direction. |
AI impact on the occupation
Separate draft quality, institutional adoption, professional service outcomes and employment change. Organizing a fictional plan status is an editorial idea; public tasks and a general framework do not prove clinical safety or a substitution ratio, and without a reliable own-occupation task-level score no value is filled in. AI Impact Score 42% is an editorial estimate. Model impact index for three equally weighted representative core tasks; not a measured share of working time or a job-loss probability. floor((25+25+75)/3+0.5)=42; fermatmind-ai-impact-v1; 2026-10-18.The three tasks, ratings and sources are listed in the FermatMind method source record on this page.

Adjacent social work announcements and the national gap
Evidence gap: this round obtained no nationally comparable wage distribution for this occupation in China. The three historical anti-drug social work announcements below are adjacent posts, explain their pay separately and set no national pay grade for this occupation.
Evidence gap: this round obtained no nationally comparable wage distribution for this occupation in China.The adjacent Chongqing Pingtan anti-drug social work announcement is 2500 yuan/month, with five social insurances and one housing fund and work meals also stated, the application has closed and the tax basis is not given.
The adjacent Fuzhou Gulou anti-drug social worker is an average of 6.5 ten-thousand yuan/year including five social insurances and one housing fund; the Tianmen announcement gives no specific wage. Both have closed, so no cash monthly salary or occupational wage is filled in.
US pay reference
The US May 2025 annual wage median is 59,350 USD and the hourly figure is 28.53 USD; this is combined SOC21-1018 data for three counsellor types including mental health counsellors, and it is not split by a single direction.
| Wage position | Annual USD | Corresponding hourly figure and statistical scope | Use boundaries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual P10 | $38,940 / year | Corresponds to an hourly $18.72; three types combined | The annual P10 is 38,940 USD with an hourly figure of 18.72; a lower position in the distribution, not a new-hire wage line or a statutory minimum wage. |
| Annual median P50 | $59,350 / year | Corresponds to an hourly $28.53; three types combined |
Occupational fit guide
Turn the test results into specific questions about listening and records, error correction and real conditions. Different task directions and institutions may have different requirements, and no personality or intelligence hiring line is set.After completing it, see whether you can point out the misjudgments, explain the changes, keep the unknowns and respect the duties. A personality type and one test are not a substitute for educational licensing or professional preparation.
Worth experiencing further： Observe whether the whole need is heard first and then the original expression and the items to be confirmed are restated. Being good at giving advice does not mean listening continuously and respecting different choices.
Check the real conditions first： Interest in helping, keeping documentation and accepting fluctuating progress are observed separately. One burst of enthusiasm does not show that you can bear the contact burden and professional responsibility long term.
Do one small trial first： Use the eight F1 statuses and the A and B revisions in F2 to observe plan review and handover accuracy; F3 states the real contribution, and everything is fictional paper work.
Work pressures, risks and occupational boundaries
First check material use, direction training, the institutional division of work and the documentation status; the combined name for three types cannot automatically make the legal identity, licensing and duties the same.
The following is organized from occupational descriptions, Chinese law and an overview of specific US addiction record rules and is not an incidence rate or a globally uniform system.
Typical scenarios：Complete records are asked to be forwarded or uploaded, but the purpose and necessity, the lawful basis and the receiving scope are unclear.
Main positions：People handling case plans and progress records
Possible consequences：Sensitive information may be processed beyond scope and privacy harmed; removing the name does not automatically solve it.
Entry, certificates and career development
First choose the target direction and jurisdiction, check the education, supervised practice and real duties, then enter the corresponding study and institutional work. Career development follows ability and responsibility rather than a fixed number of years, and no independent treatment or automatic promotion is promised.
Occupational outlook and moves to related occupations
The US SOC21-1018 combined category grows 18.4% from 2025 to 2035, with annual average openings of 50500 including replacements, not the same net increase every year or the same in every direction and region.Adjacent targets require preparation for new tasks, and psychology, relationship services, rehabilitation, social work, education and judicial work differ; serving the same population does not mean the qualifications are common.
United States · US SOC21-1018: substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellors as a combined occupation, matching this page's identity; not split by a single direction
+18.4%
Overall employment change
EP employment runs from 533400 to 631400, a published net increase of 98000; the combined projection matches this page's identity but cannot be split into the substance abuse and behavioural or mental health directions, nor attributed to AI.
No. The US BLS combined statistic includes the substance abuse and behavioural disorder and mental health directions, whose tasks, methods, education and licensing differ. Chinese counselling, the adjacent social work post and medical practice are checked separately.
Choose a real task from this page for a small practice project or a conversation with someone in the field. Use the planning guides to set a date, an output and feedback questions before deciding whether to continue.
The work is not only face-to-face conversation but also plan review, documentation, team discussion and continuous follow-up. First check the service population, scheduling, supervision and recovery arrangements, and do not equate being willing to help with being able to take on every task.First ask yourself whether you are willing to keep writing records, accept fluctuating progress, clarify the division of work in a team and arrange recovery under real conditions. Only wanting to give advice without reviewing the materials, or treating a service user's different choices as non-cooperation, is worth observing first through study and feedback. Strong interest also cannot let you ignore institutional scheduling, professional supervision and legal boundaries.
First complete the F1 fictional plan progress check: judge the eight statuses one by one, then revise the handover summary according to the two pieces of feedback in F2 and complete F3. Compare input and conclusion on paper only, without designing treatment, assessing real people or contacting institutions.After completing the eight status judgments, the A and B versions of the summary and F3, choose one specific task that needs strengthening. The next step can be a proper course or supervised learning; one experience does not declare fit, treatment ability or a successful hire.
A plan progress record that distinguishes the goal, what has happened, the unknown status and the responsible person
A linkage record stating the resource, the reply status, the date to be confirmed and the responsibility for the next step
US BLS places substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellors in the SOC21-1018 combined category. The wages and employment on this page follow that category, and the subdivided tasks refer to O*NET21-1011 and 21-1014; the full requirements of one direction cannot be treated as a common rule. The former focuses on whether the goal, the service that has occurred and the changes correspond, while the latter focuses on whether the need can be linked to an applicable resource and the current contact status. They support each other, but sending a contact must not be treated as receipt, and being able to organize text does not mean taking on professional treatment judgment.
| Dimension | Main directions | Comparison direction |
|---|---|---|
| Core purpose | Within the corresponding professional duties, assist with substance abuse or behavioural problems and review the goals and service progress. | Within the corresponding professional duties, assist with mental health, emotional and relationship problems and keep recording the service progress. |
| Main basis | The person's expression, existing materials, addiction or behaviour related goals and professional feedback; trained personnel check the scope of application. | The individual, family or group expression, mental health related goals and professional materials; a diagnosis cannot be inferred from one symptom alone. |
| Work process | Understand the need, negotiate goals, provide the corresponding support, record changes and coordinate follow-up resources. | Understand the mental health and relationship needs, agree on service goals, provide the corresponding counselling and review changes. |
| Main output | A service plan, progress records and prevention or follow-up resource arrangements, keeping the source and the items to be confirmed. | Individual, family or group service records, goal review and the related linkage arrangements, with professional content recorded under authority. |
| Professional responsibility | The institutional division of work, training and local licensing together define the task, and private practice has its state licensing checked separately. | Usually requires the corresponding master's degree and internship preparation, and real practice is still checked against state licensing and the institutional scope. |
| Coordination method | May coordinate services with psychologists, physicians, nurses and social workers, each with their own professional judgment. | May coordinate with related professionals and resource institutions, with information sharing handled under the law and the real task scope. |
| Not directly interchangeable | The US BLS combined statistic does not prove that the two directions have the same training, and certainly does not equal a general Chinese qualification. | Shared communication and documentation ability does not replace target direction training; Chinese counselling, social work and medical responsibility are checked separately. |
Understand the expression, distinguish the personal account, existing materials and professional opinion, and confirm your own task scope.
Within the trained and licensed scope, develop, recommend or review goals with the relevant people and do not treat the plan as a completed result.
Provide the service under the corresponding direction and institutional duties, attending to understanding and participation, and do not assume all directions use the same method.
Record accurately what happened, the goal changes, the material sources and the arrangements to be confirmed.
Check resources and status with the responsible staff, each carrying the corresponding professional judgment and material responsibility.
Accept professional learning and feedback and check the continuing education, licensing and stage linkage requirements.
First distinguish goal from outcome, personal account from record, and plan from confirmation status, then explain the next step. The following are editorial exploration questions and are not for screening real people, diagnosis or clinical decisions.
BLS lists tasks such as developing, recommending and reviewing goal plans with the service user and family, and the actual method depends on training and licensing. Career exploration only compares whether the plan and progress wording correspond, and does not train readers to design a real treatment plan.
The input may include the person's own expression, existing records, service goals and team feedback. When understanding the need, you should be able to state who the information came from, when it was recorded and what remains to be confirmed; do not write a guess as a professional conclusion because the wording flows well.
Services may take place in mental health centres, outpatient clinics, inpatient or residential facilities and private practice. The specific population, record system and work boundaries differ by institution, and the same job title does not mean the same conditions.
| Mental health counselling direction |
|---|
| Provide individual, family or group mental health counselling, plans and progress review within the professional scope. |
| Also within this page's combined category, usually requiring a master's degree and internship and checks against the mental health state licensing; it is not a uniform exchange without training. |
| Willing to learn about the mental health professional tasks and the corresponding study and supervision. |
| Clinical and counselling psychologists | The US profile for clinical and counselling psychologists includes psychological assessment and the corresponding professional services and requires separate training and licensing, which is not obtained automatically from experience in the three counselling types. | Moving to professional psychological assessment and services; ordinary counselling experience must not be treated as a psychology licence. | Check the education, supervised practice and licensing requirements for the target profession. |
|---|
| Marriage and family therapists | Marriage and family therapists focus on professional services for partner and family relationships, with the tasks, education and licensing checked separately. | The focus shifts to professional services for partner and family relationships; being good at communication does not mean having training in that direction. | Willing to add the professional preparation for relationship services and check the licensing. |
|---|
| Rehabilitation counsellors | Rehabilitation counsellors coordinate resources around independent living, employment barriers and rehabilitation plans and cannot serve as a general resource introduction. | Centred on independent living, employment barriers, rehabilitation plans and resources, not a simple job introduction. | Willing to learn the professional tasks around personal goals and real barriers. |
|---|
| Mental health and substance abuse social work direction | Mental health and substance abuse social workers focus on case management, resources and social support; the on-site frozen name of mental health and substance abuse worker must be understood together with the English identity. | Focuses on case management, social resources and service coordination; the on-site frozen name is understood together with the English. | Check the social work field of study, the institutional identity and the duties; a counselling title does not allow automatic transfer. |
|---|
Use the F1 plan progress check to observe detailed record-keeping habits, then choose study according to the target task. A preference for communication or collaboration is not enough to prove professional competence; changing direction or moving to an adjacent occupation requires the corresponding training, licensing and real output.
After choosing a direction, distinguish tool drafts, actual institutional adoption and employment causation, and do not expand professional authority.
Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
Editorial exploration can use explicitly fictional plan and progress records to test draft organization: mark the old goal, the latest record and the arrangements still to be confirmed, then check sentence by sentence. Being able to write a summary does not obtain evidence of clinical effect, time saving or institutional adoption; handling real health materials requires separate checks of authority and law.
Evidence gap: this round obtained no representative AI adoption rate or net time-saving study for the SOC21-1018 combined counselling occupation. The two O*NET subdivided tasks, the ILO abstract and the NIST framework do not prove actual institutional benefits.
Evidence gap: this round obtained no net job change for the three counsellor types attributable to AI. The EP combined growth of 18.4% includes many factors and can neither prove that AI has no effect nor be split into an AI substitution rate.
| Work direction | Task | Current changes | Human control points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plan | Organize the fictional goals and progress | Exploring a draft to be checked | Keep the old goal and the new records and do not declare completion from the summary. |
| Documentation | Compare with the latest record status | A human-reviewed assistance idea | Check the source, timing, unknowns and confirmation status item by item. |
| Resources | Organize the conditions of public resources | Editorial exploration idea | Check the original institution, date and applicable conditions and do not book on their behalf. |
| Communication | Draft fictional handover questions | A draft reviewed by a person | State which reply is missing, without adding a diagnosis or an outcome. |
| Materials | Check fictional text for superfluous information | An editorial checking task | Real materials must be handled under lawful authority; a tool does not decide what can be shared. |
| Service | Individual, family and group counselling | Evidence of independent clinical replacement is insufficient | The real method, licensing, professional judgment and supervision are carried by the corresponding personnel. |
| Market | Explain the task changes in the combined category | The net AI effect is not quantified | Do not infer individual or Chinese outcomes from a US projection. |
The evidence below describes potential task change, real occupational tasks, employment projections and risk principles respectively. The source levels differ, and being able to generate text cannot be pushed into being able to take on service responsibility independently.
Plan review, resource information organization and professional counselling judgment are different responsibilities. A tool can propose text to be checked but should not decide a real diagnosis, treatment, crisis risk or that a service has been completed.
What AI mainly changesA draft can help organize goals and records and cannot approve that a goal is completed.
Still the responsibility of peopleExplain the input and reasons for changes item by item and keep the unconfirmed status.
What AI mainly changesFinding information and receiving institutional confirmation are different steps.
Still the responsibility of peopleThe responsible person checks the resource conditions, the reply and the real arrangement.
What AI mainly changesThis round has no independent replacement evidence for complete clinical tasks.
Still the responsibility of peopleActual training, licensing and supervision responsibility are not carried by a paper experience or a model.
First determine which documentation needs checking, then confirm the usable materials and the reviewer. Career exploration uses only the fictional records on this page and does not infer from convenient organization that a real system is already authorized.
First distinguish fictional documentation, public materials and real professional services.
Confirm the source, the lawful scope, the necessary information and the receiving and retention conditions separately.
Who confirms the factual status and who confirms the professional content; when the authority is unclear, ask first.
Check the old goal, the new feedback, the dates and the replies not received, not just fluency.
Record the change, the actual confirmation and the purpose, and recheck if the input changes.
A summary may use the plan in place of evidence that something happened.
Control method:Compare item by item with the latest record and delete unsupported completion statements.
The input receiving and retention may not match the real task authority.
Control method:Exploration uses fictional materials, and real cases have their scope checked by the institution under the law.
A tool may add a diagnosis or a service effect not present in the task.
Control method:Clinical conclusions do not arise from career exploration, and professional content must be confirmed by trained personnel.
The three names may hide differences in direction, education and licensing.
Control method:Check by the actual direction, jurisdiction and institution and do not let a US description replace Chinese law.
Potential exposure, adoption and employment are different evidence levels.
Control method:Check the occupational period and method and do not fill in a substitution rate from the combined 18.4%.
First do the F1 status check and the A and B revisions, record the part you completed and the actual AI role, and do not claim professional service.
Check the specific documentation purpose against the real institutional task and supervision, keep the original materials and the basis of the status, and do not hand the final responsibility to a fluent draft.
Distinguish public information, the enquiry sent and the receipt confirmation; assisting with a search does not promise implementation on behalf of the institution.
Assess adoption with real quality and work outcomes and check the material review responsibility, and do not infer benefits from a general exposure abstract.
You can write it yourself first, then use the tool draft as a comparison to be checked. Check whether an old goal is written as completed and whether new feedback and unknown replies are omitted; it can only show performance on this text task and does not prove real clinical adoption.

No. Potential task change, adoption and net job change are at different levels, and the ILO public abstract cannot give this page's occupational substitution rate. There is no complete occupational score basis this round, so no value is filled in.
Source:ILO 2025 generative AI occupational exposure study: public abstractOriginal material ↗
No. In F1, Q1 sent an enquiry, and although Q2 has replied it explicitly states that personal service has not yet been arranged; assertive draft wording cannot add an arrangement confirmation, and certainly cannot write the material checking work sample as a real service already provided.

The professional tasks in the US occupational description do not confer diagnostic or treatment authority in China, nor allow arbitrary upload of cases. Exploration is limited to fictional text, and real tasks are checked against the institutional division of work and the local law.

Evidence gap: this round has no value for a net SOC21-1018 job change attributable to AI alone. The combined growth of 18.4% does not mean AI has zero effect, nor can it be split into individual or single-direction outcomes.

No. The resource conditions, the contact reply and the actual arrangement need confirmation by the responsible person. A generated list does not let a tool promise an appointment, professional judgment or a service effect on behalf of the institution.

Source:NIST AI RMF 1.0Original material ↗
The responsible staff still check whether the goal has changed, whether the records are enough to support the status, which replies are still missing and who continues the handover. A generated completion statement cannot replace evidence that it actually happened.
All historical application periods have closed

| Tianmen anti-drug social worker | Wage not stated; the pay is not filled in from the number of positions | The Tianmen 2026-05-14 announcement: 13 anti-drug social worker positions with a three-month probation; no specific wage is given and applications closed on 05-20, and the pay is not filled in from the other two. |
| National distribution for this occupation in China | Evidence gap: three adjacent samples cannot represent the whole country | The three adjacent social work samples do not represent this occupation's national distribution; no uniform wage by education, city or years is set. |
As of 2026-10-01 the application periods for Pingtan 08-27, Fuzhou 07-07 and Tianmen 05-20 had all closed. A historical announcement only explains that round's conditions and does not guarantee the same pay next round.
When discussing pay, first check the job duties, the employing entity, monthly or annual pay, benefits, tax basis and probation period; belonging to the same drug rehabilitation service direction does not mean the tasks or wages can be compared directly.
An annual amount that includes five social insurances and one housing fund cannot be treated as cash take-home pay; a labour company contract and a direct employment contract must also be confirmed separately.
A historical offer supports only that round's position; check the actual contract, scheduling and paid arrangements and do not infer national pay or current recruitment heat.
Evidence gap: this round obtained no study of the share of wage change in this occupation in China caused by AI. A documentation assistance idea and actual adoption and income change are explained separately, and the combined US projection is not used to fill the gap.

BLS annual figures usually use a 2080-hour statistical conversion; this page reads the published annual percentiles directly to avoid recomputation from the rounded hourly rate. The statistical assumption does not guarantee individual paid hours or take-home income.
OEWS excludes the self-employed and so on, and the wage and employment statistics have different coverage populations; headcounts must not be multiplied by the median to estimate total occupational income, and self-employed fees must not be written as employee wages.
The percentiles describe the combined occupation wage distribution, not a job grade, an education band or a clinical ability level. Real jobs also require checking the qualification, the tasks and the actual pay.
Check the state licensing, institutional duties, full-time or part-time status, pay unit, benefits and tax basis; a statistical value is not the current employer's offer.
| Industry | Combined occupation annual wage median | How to understand |
|---|---|---|
| Hospitals: public and private | $63,310 / year | The combined public and private hospital median is 63,310 USD/year; it is not the wage of all hospital staff or a separate 21-1011 value. |
| Outpatient mental health and substance abuse centres | $58,750 / year | The outpatient mental health and substance abuse centre median is 58,750 USD/year; the industry covers three counsellor types. |
| Individual and family services | $58,440 / year | The individual and family services median is 58,440 USD/year; the actual pay for different tasks and qualifications is checked separately. |
| Self-employment statistical boundary | The statistics exclude the self-employed | OEWS does not include the self-employed; private practice fees, costs and personal income are listed separately, and practice licensing must be verified by state. |
Check full-time or part-time status, scheduling, paid arrangements and benefits; a national median cannot guarantee an individual's annual take-home pay.
The combined statistics for three types cannot represent a single duty; check the counselling task, the training level, the licence and the pay unit.
Hospitals, outpatient clinics and residential facilities have different environments and scheduling; an industry median is not a specific institution's current offer.

Does SI prove that I am definitely suited?
SI describes Social helping and Investigative information understanding activities. The same interests in the two subdivided profiles do not prove the same method or licensing, nor that the individual is qualified; first see whether you are willing to listen and review the plan and the records.
Do not use it like this:Similar interests may still come with a dislike of documentation, shifts and continuous burden, and these are checked separately.
Understand my occupational interestsWhich habits should be checked through tasks?
Turn preparation, records and error correction into actual behavioural questions, and set no personality hiring line for this occupation. How the F1 wrong item is located and how F2 is revised is better grounded than declaring competence from a score.
Do not use it like this:Check the real contact scope, scheduling, documentation burden and supervision, then consider whether the real responsibilities can match. Some night and weekend arrangements in BLS do not mean every institution is the same.
Understand my Big Five traitsDoes introversion or extraversion determine counselling ability?
No. Independent documentation, team communication and continuous listening all need actual testing. Social preference is only a discussion lead, observed together with the specific direction and real conditions, and no type ranking is made.
Do not use it like this:Four letters do not explain all service or application outcomes; training and task evidence is still needed.
Understand my personality preferencesHow should the motivation for helping be understood?
Distinguish interest in the service process from expectations such as being needed and recognized. Motivations can coexist, and the key is to respect choices, keep the unknowns and clarify the duties, rather than making unconfirmed decisions for others.
Do not use it like this:Do not infer talent from a label or analyse the psychology of a real service user.
Understand my motivation leadsHow should understanding and attention be observed?
F1 separates the original plan, the progress and the contact status. Accurate memory still requires checking whether the conclusion has a basis, and a general score cannot replace the actual task or the hiring conditions; locate the wrong item and check again.
Do not use it like this:For one wrong item, check the understanding of the conditions and attention first and do not judge overall ability.
Understand my cognitive performanceHow can understanding and duty boundaries coexist?
Restate the expression first, then state the doubts and the unconfirmed tasks. Do not rush to diagnose or promise; understanding does not mean disclosing materials or taking on untrained work, and exploration needs no private experience.
Do not use it like this:Exploration needs no private experience of your own or real personal materials. Understanding others does not mean diagnosing their psychology, and removing the name does not automatically allow sharing the health record.
Understand my communication leadsBetter match:Focuses on support, plans and follow-up records for addiction or behavioural problems.
Note:Also within this page's combined category, with education and state licensing checked separately.
Better match:Focuses on mental health, emotional and relationship counselling and progress review.
Note:The other direction on this page usually requires a master's degree and internship and state licensing checks, and the combined figures do not excuse skipping training.
Better match:More focused on professional psychological assessment and the corresponding services.
Note:Requires added target professional training and licensing and does not transfer automatically from counselling experience.
View related occupations:Clinical and counselling psychologistsBetter match:More focused on professional services for partner and family relationships.
Note:The training and licensing for that direction are checked separately; it is not an upgrade of ordinary communication.
View related occupations:Marriage and family therapistsBetter match:Prefers work around independent living, employment barriers and resource plans.
Note:The task focus differs, and the rehabilitation professionalism and job conditions are checked separately.

View related occupations:Mental health and substance abuse social workersUse F1 to check the plan against the latest record: P1 only reads the goal, N1/N2 records the two materials read and the summary, and the Q1 enquiry and the Q2 reply do not mean the service has been arranged. Write the source for each of the eight items and locate where the goal, the progress or the status was confused; overall intelligence or real clinical ability cannot be judged from one wrong item. Then explain the revision on the same task and observe how understanding and attention improved.
Reviewer A asks to compare the plan with the evidence of completion and reviewer B asks to separate enquiry replies from service arrangements. Keep at least two changes and the reasons for each and do not replace the actual revision with words such as more professional. When the opinion is vague, ask which input and status it corresponds to; accepting supervision also does not mean accepting tasks beyond authority.
When service progress, study or job-seeking results are unsatisfactory, first separate what can be improved in your preparation, the real conditions and the unknown reasons. Record one change and the next step, do not exaggerate experience and do not decide personal worth from a single result; professional work still requires continuous learning and recovery.
The wish to help can be a starting point, but documentation, fluctuating progress, supervision and linkage still have to be carried long term. Use the eight F1 judgments and the two F3 versions to record the tasks you are willing to repeat and the drain, then check the real direction conditions, and do not declare professional preparation from enthusiasm.
Social preference differs from accurate listening and collaboration. Independently checking records, restating the expression and asking specific questions are observed separately, and then recovery is arranged; extraversion also needs patience and a sense of duty verified.
Experience can aid understanding but is not a basis for diagnosing others or a licence. For real materials, list your own study and duties and state honestly what you have not been trained for; do not equate being familiar with a situation with being able to handle all problems independently.
Check the hours, contact, documentation burden and supervision; a condition mismatch is not a personality flaw. Adjust the direction or learning pace and do not promise shifts you cannot take on because of interest.
The five fictional inputs on this page can be used for F1 to F3, with no need for real people, video or institutional contact. Note your own judgments, revisions and the actual AI participation; if you have no real service experience, write none, as the work sample cannot be passed off as an internship.
Turn it into specific verifiable leads and keep the behavioural evidence and the unknowns. Check real tasks such as listening, plan review and error correction, and do not retest repeatedly chasing a hoped-for label, as performance may differ across situations.
Organize one misjudgment, the changes in the two versions, the tasks you are willing to keep doing and the real constraints. Choose one learning task that can give professional guidance and check the direction and jurisdiction at the same time; do not declare clinical competence or a successful hire.
Basis：Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China
Typical scenarios：A safety question arises without clarity about the institutional professional judgment and support arrangements.
Main positions：Service staff who may encounter difficult situations
Possible consequences：Taking on untrained work alone affects service and personal safety, and cooperation requires clear responsibility.
Reduce the risk：The occupational description contains crisis or professional risk tasks, which does not mean the reader can carry them out. Real problems are handled under the institutional professional arrangements and by authorized personnel, and this page checks fictional records only.
Basis：BLS OOH: substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellors
Typical scenarios：Treating a combined annual salary, pay including five social insurances and one housing fund, or service fees as the same take-home wage.
Main positions：People comparing employee wages with adjacent social work or private practice
Possible consequences：Ignoring differences in paid arrangements, costs, benefits and tax, so the judgment of personal income is distorted.
Reduce the risk：Distinguish US annual salary statistics, adjacent social work monthly pay, annual pay including benefits and private fees; the actual contract, tax, benefits and paid conditions are checked separately, and no personal cash income is promised.
Basis：BLS OOH: substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellors
Typical scenarios：Treating the combined category name, a US task or a course completion as the full diagnostic and treatment qualification in China.
Main positions：People studying or job-seeking across directions or regions
Possible consequences：May take on work for which there is no professional preparation or statutory authority, with unclear institutional responsibility.
Reduce the risk：Chinese counselling, social work and medical identities are separated. The Mental Health Law prohibits psychological counsellors from practising psychotherapy or diagnosing and treating mental disorders; US tasks cannot confer Chinese authority.
Basis：Mental Health Law of the People's Republic of China (2018 amendment)
Typical scenarios：Uploading health materials of unclear authority or entering tool-generated completed statuses directly into the record.
Main positions：People using assisted documentation and resource organization
Possible consequences：Materials are processed beyond scope and unsupported arrangements or professional conclusions appear in the record.
Reduce the risk：A tool draft requires checks of input authority and status basis, and generated text cannot prove a service arrangement, a professional assessment or an authorization. Exploration uses fictional task content only.
Basis：NIST AI RMF 1.0 · Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China
Typical scenarios：Workload, resource limits and shifts stack up, and supervision and recovery are unclear, yet you still promise all the tasks.
Main positions：People who need continuous communication, follow-up and documentation
Possible consequences：Accumulated burden affects records and cooperation; the degree depends on the real institution and no uniform risk rate is inferred.
Reduce the risk：Check the workload, shifts, supervision and recovery; fluctuating progress is not personal failure, and when conditions cannot be borne, state it honestly and seek feedback under the institutional arrangements.

| Fictional plan progress check | Use F1 to compare the original goal with the latest record. | An editorial task for this page, not an employer or clinical exam. | Submit the eight judgments, the sources and the two versions of the summary. | No inference about real people's health or treatment outcomes. |
| Organizing public resource information | Distinguish information, application conditions and arrangement status. | The task background comes from BLS and the two O*NET profiles. | Use fictional records to show what has been enquired about and what has not yet been arranged. | A search and an enquiry do not mean the service has been implemented. |
| US substance abuse and behavioural disorder direction | Check the target state, post, tasks and study. | Usually at least a bachelor's degree, but the specific position differs. | Compare courses, supervised practice and licensing. | Private practice and other post requirements are separated. |
| US mental health counselling direction | Check the master's degree, internship and state licensing for that direction. | BLS notes that a master's degree and internship are usual and licensing is required in each state. | Prepare under the real study and supervised practice arrangements. | The work sample on this page does not replace clinical training. |
| Chinese counselling, social work and medical directions | First distinguish the professional task and the institutional identity. | The Mental Health Law and the actual post conditions are checked separately. | The materials are genuine and no service or diagnostic treatment experience is invented. | The US combined category does not confer a general Chinese qualification. |
The Tianmen round's anti-drug social work post includes education, expression, writing, office and collaboration requirements and a written test and interview; it is an adjacent post and cannot serve as a common threshold for all counsellors.
Use F1 to check the goal, the actual record and the arrangements to be confirmed, and keep the reason for each misjudgment.
Following the A and B revisions in F2, make clear what has happened and what is not implemented; do not add completion from the tone.

| Scenario | What to check | How to observe | What cannot be inferred from it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Application preparation | Check the valid post, education, the corresponding US state or Chinese conditions and the material deadline. | Distinguish what has been trained from what is still to be learned, and keep the materials genuine. | A historical announcement is not a current invitation. |
| Study feedback | Which plan record and status does the feedback correspond to? | Explain the revision with the original input and keep the changes. | A paper task is not a clinical internship or a uniform exam. |
| Real duties | Check the institutional division of work, supervision, materials and scheduling. | Know who makes the professional judgment and who handles the records and service linkage. | Being hired does not automatically expand diagnostic or treatment authority. |
| Review | Keep the first version, the A and B revisions and F3. | Explain the misjudgment and the next learning task. | The work sample does not replace real service or a licence. |
| Qualification / preparation items | Who it mainly suits | Practical role in job seeking | Whether it is a common entry threshold | Application / processing conditions | Investment considerations | Important limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| US substance abuse and behavioural disorder education | Applicants for that direction | Preparation for the corresponding real tasks | Usually at least a bachelor's degree, and the specific position, state and employer range from high school to master's | Check the state, institution and education requirements for each post | Compare formal courses and supervision arrangements, cost and time | The combined summary master's degree is not a uniform threshold for every subdivided post |
| US private practice and mental health licensing | People intending private practice or mental health counselling | The corresponding state professional authority | Private practice requires licensing; mental health counselling requires licensing in each state | For substance abuse private practice, the master's degree, supervised experience, examination and continuing education; for mental health, the national examination, licensing, supervision and clinical work are checked against the state rules | Do not invent uniform hours, fees or processing times | US requirements are not applied to China, and course completion does not equal a licence |
| US mental health study | Applicants for that direction | Prepare for professional counselling training | BLS usually requires a master's degree and internship | Check the course, clinical supervision and the state licensing path | Real course and internship evidence, not the F1 work sample | General communication or personal experience does not replace the master's degree, internship or licensing |
| Chinese psychological counselling, social work and medical practice | People considering the corresponding post in China | First distinguish the law from the duties | This round obtained no nationwide uniform certificate or complete local list | Articles 23, 29 and 51 of the Mental Health Law and the target institution are checked separately | Study under the law; an adjacent social work qualification may be preferred in a specific announcement | Psychological counsellors must not practise psychotherapy or diagnose and treat mental disorders |
| Application conditions of a historical anti-drug social work post | People considering Chinese community service coordination | Check the qualifications of the actual round | Tianmen gives priority according to the listed conditions when overall scores tie in a competitive review; this is not required for all counselling posts | A new valid announcement has its education, experience, materials and process checked separately | All three announcements in this round have closed, so you cannot apply directly on the historical conditions | The number of positions, the posts and the number of independent samples differ, so no national route is established |
| Original fictional work package | People without service experience yet | Show the habit of checking sources and status | Not a professional certificate or certification | F1 eight judgments, F2 two pieces of feedback and F3 authenticity note | Paper is enough, with no equipment, real people or institutional contact | Completion does not guarantee hiring or independent professional ability |
This task is entirely original fiction, with no real person or clinical service. P1: my exploration plan for this week is to read the public resource materials A and B and write a summary of each. N1: on Tuesday it is recorded that A was read and a summary written. N2: on Friday it is recorded that B was read and a summary written. Q1: on Thursday an enquiry was sent asking only about public application conditions, with no case materials. Q2: on Friday a reply was received: the application conditions must be checked first, and no personal service has been arranged. These are paper words and no resource needed to be read or contacted.
Eight items to be checked: (a) P1 plans to read two materials; (b) A has been read and has a summary; (c) B has been read and has a summary; (d) both summaries have records; (e) the public condition enquiry has been sent; (f) the institution has arranged personal service; (g) a professional assessment has been obtained; (h) all treatment goals have been completed. The deliberately wrong first version: the two summaries are complete, the institutional service has been arranged, and the professional assessment and treatment goals have all been completed.
Judge supported or unsupported item by item and write the P1/N1/N2/Q1/Q2 source, then write your own summary. Reviewer A's feedback: distinguish the original plan from the latest record and list when the goal has a basis for completion; reviewer B's feedback: separate sending the enquiry, receiving the reply and arranging the service, and keep the unconfirmed status. Reviewer A and B each require at least two revisions and reasons.
F3 records this page as original fiction, your own judgments and revisions, the actual AI role, no real case, paper work, and no sending or disclosure. Compare text only, and do not contact institutions, assess real people, design treatment or rehearse a crisis.
(a) supported by the P1 plan; (b) supported by N1; (c) supported by N2; (d) supported by N1 and N2; (e) supported by Q1. (f) unsupported, as Q2 clearly states nothing has been arranged; (g) unsupported, as the input has no professional assessment; (h) unsupported, as P1 is a reading exploration goal and there is no treatment goal at all. In total 5 supported and 3 unsupported. A supported record refers only to the input in this task and is not taken as real external verification.
Version A: the original plan was to read A and B and write a summary of each, and Tuesday's N1 and Friday's N2 respectively record the two readings and summaries, so the plan itself cannot be treated as evidence of completion. Version B clarifies further: the Thursday enquiry was sent and the condition reply arrived on Friday, personal service has not been arranged, and there is no basis for a professional assessment or completed treatment goals. The three overreaching conclusions are deleted, and an unknown is not turned into a refusal or a permanent impossibility. F3 records your own and the AI participation faithfully, and with no real materials it was not sent or disclosed.
It tests the consistency of the plan, records, replies and revisions; it is not clinical training and includes no diagnostic screening, treatment, crisis role-play or real referral. Completing a reading goal cannot imply health improvement or a treatment effect; this task does not assess professional ability, licensing or passing recruitment.
Organize the information cards for P1, N1, N2, Q1 and Q2, marking the plan, the records and the reply, and add no real personal background.
Complete supported or unsupported and the source for the eight items and save the first summary without copying the answer first.
Compare with 5 supported and 3 unsupported and record the misjudgments and the original input; a reading goal is not a treatment goal.
At least two changes in the plan and the basis for completion with reasons, distinguishing P1 from N1/N2.
At least two changes in resource status with reasons, distinguishing the enquiry, the reply and the fact that nothing has been arranged.
Write the original fictional source, your own work, the actual AI role and the no-sending, no-disclosure points.
Keep one misjudgment, one change and one task still to be learned, check the real direction conditions, and do not declare professional competence.

Compare the professional object, the education and the real tasks, and do not choose an individual outcome from combined figures.
Enter formal study and supervision arrangements by direction and keep the real training evidence.
Record the real service progress and hand over under the division of work, without expanding authority on your own.
Complex tasks, supervision and management require the corresponding ability and clear responsibility and do not upgrade automatically by years.
Cannot explain：The US combined projection does not infer the same change in China, a single direction or an individual outcome, and independent evidence of a net AI effect is missing.
US programs covered by Part2 · Applicable US federally funded and similar programs and some record holders
Check the permitted use conditions against the real scope
Record responsibility for specific addiction services
The HHS Part2 overview gives the protection for specific US addiction record programs and the 2026-02-16 compliance date, and an institutional change does not prove tool adoption or higher income.
Cannot explain：Part2 covers only its applicable US programs and record holders and does not replace global counselling privacy or Chinese law, still less convert into an adoption rate.
Three historical Chinese adjacent social work samples · Adjacent anti-drug social work posts, not a national combined three-type counselling statistic
Three complete historical announcements, not the current total openings
The task conditions and pay of that round
All three Chinese adjacent historical social work announcements have closed and support only that round's conditions, process and pay; they do not count as current national counselling recruitment heat.
Cannot explain：The three historical adjacent samples are not the current total openings or a representative occupational statistic; the number of positions is not the number of independent employers.
These are ability adjacencies and do not represent automatic promotion or an exemption from further study.

View occupation detailsIncludes plans, progress records, resource linkage and collaboration within the corresponding professional scope. Distinguish accurately the original goal, the record of what happened and the unconfirmed items; a fluent summary does not prove a professional effect.
Use only the five fictional F1 inputs to judge the eight statuses, then revise at least two items each on reviewers A and B and complete F3. Do not contact real people or institutions, and the work sample must not claim clinical training.
US substance and behavioural posts usually require at least a bachelor's degree, but the position, state and employer differ; mental health usually requires a master's degree and internship with licensing in each state, and private practice conditions are checked separately. China checks by law and the specific post and does not give a uniform certificate from the combined name.
Evidence gap: there is no attributable net job value or substitution ratio for this page's occupation. Draft quality, actual adoption, professional service and employment outcomes are checked separately, and the 18.4% combined growth does not prove that AI has no effect. BLS2025–2035 US SOC21-1018 combined substance abuse, behavioural disorder and mental health counsellor overall projection: 2025 base period 533,400 people, 2035 end period 631,400 people, an official net increase of 98,000 people, growth of 18.4%; the annual average of 50,500 openings includes transfers out and replacements and is not net growth or current recruitment. Headcounts are converted from thousands to preserve the original table precision, and the projection population differs from the wage and salary population; it cannot be split into a single counselling direction statistic, an AI causal substitution rate, a China projection or an individual probability of job loss.
Evidence gap: this round obtained no nationally comparable wage distribution for this counselling occupation in China. The US May 2025 annual median of 59350 USD and the hourly figure of 28.53 are the SOC21-1018 combined data. The three Chinese historical anti-drug social work posts are adjacent samples, and the annual pay including benefits is not converted into a take-home monthly salary or a national average. The 2025 pre-tax annual average wage for all employed persons in urban health and social work in China: 146,266 for non-private and 75,631 yuan/year for private units. The author references it conditionally for the health or social work service employer direction only, and the actual unit's industry must be checked; an anti-drug social worker job title does not automatically determine the employer industry. The two unit populations differ and the industry covers many occupations; it covers urban legal-person units with 5 or more people, includes individual tax, social insurance and housing fund deductions, and excludes self-employed and freelance workers; it is not this counselling occupation's median, starting pay or individual range, and the two are not merged into a single range.
Psychological counsellors in China must not practise psychotherapy or diagnose and treat mental disorders; the lawful scope for health materials is checked separately, and US tasks or Part2 are not applied to all Chinese posts. Exploration uses fiction only.
Look at listening, plan progress checking, error correction and accepting feedback, and at real scheduling, supervision and recovery. The SI interests in the two O*NET subdivided profiles are occupational leads only, and no individual personality or intelligence hiring line is set.
5 supported and 3 unsupported. The two readings and summaries have N1/N2 records; the Q1 enquiry and the Q2 reply do not mean the service has been arranged, and there is no basis for a professional assessment or completed treatment goals. The four work samples and the seven days check fictional text only.
Real professional tasks and materials are confirmed by the personnel authorized by the institution. Explorers keep the misjudgments and the changes in the two versions and choose one proper learning task and check the direction conditions, without declaring licensing or hiring.

Map the feedback to the original plan and the latest record, then revise the summary. Keep the old judgment, the change and the reason, and avoid polishing only the wording while keeping an unsupported completed status.
State clearly which reply is currently missing and who continues to confirm it; do not add a date, approval or result yourself just because the handover is urgent. The material scope and receiving authority must be checked separately.
At a stage transition or at the end of a service there are still corresponding plans, records and resource arrangements. Completing one summary does not mean the service has ended or that the materials may be disclosed; work samples use only explicitly fictional input.
Next step：Keep checking the workload, materials and supervision.
Typical duties：Check the target professional service or the supervision and management duties.
Promotion evidence：Real professional preparation and the corresponding feedback.
Qualification boundaries：Experience does not automatically confer a new specialism or management authority.
Next step：Choose one well-grounded piece of further training.
Next step：Check the new valid announcement and the institutional supervision.
Typical duties：Do the progress records, resource status and professional division of work well.
Promotion evidence：Real feedback and clear responsibility; F3 does not expose cases.
Qualification boundaries：A social work or counselling identity does not confer mental disorder diagnostic or treatment authority.
Next step：Choose the target direction to study and do not promise a transfer without training.
Use limitations：Editorial ratings use the existing occupational responsibilities and AI task analysis on this page. They are not adoption rates, measured effects, job-disappearance or personal-unemployment probabilities, or official scores from Stanford or another external institution. No measured time weights or future robot deployment are assumed.
