Ethics and AI:
Navigating the Future of Mental Health Practice (Recorded)

This 4-hour ethics training explores the rapidly evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mental health care, from documentation tools and wellness apps to emerging “AI therapist” platforms. Clinicians will examine how to ethically integrate these technologies without compromising relational, trauma-informed practice. Through case vignettes, reflective discussion, and guided application of professional standards (NASW, APA, NBCC, ASWB, WHO), participants will learn to discern between tools that augment care and those that risk replacing human connection.

 

Attendees will leave with a clear ethical decision-making framework, practical red flag and green light indicators for AI use, and strategies for maintaining transparency, integrity, and client trust in a rapidly changing digital landscape. This engaging, accessible session is designed for licensed clinicians seeking to balance innovation with ethical responsibility.
