The study explored the relationship between career sustaining behaviors (CSB) and professional quality of life among Filipino counseling paraprofessionals. Using a descriptive cross-sectional design, the study identified preferred CSB and levels of professional quality of life, and tested the association between the study variables. Results showed that paraprofessionals’ CSB were related to psychological, social support, physical, and spiritual self-care. They reported average levels of compassion satisfaction, and low levels of burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Relationships between specific CSB and each of the levels of professional quality of life yielded moderate levels of positive and negative relationships.
