Assessing AI Use in Therapy: How to Talk with Clients About Chatbots and When to Be Concerned

This webinar satisfies requirements for live interactive CE credits for all professions.

DESCRIPTION:Your clients are already using AI. The clinical question is no longer whether to address it, but how. This webinar is the practical core of the series: how to screen for AI use at intake in a way that opens the conversation rather than closing it, how to assess the function AI is serving in a client’s life, and how to have honest conversations about benefits and risks without pathologizing a tool the client may genuinely value. We will distinguish between AI use that enriches a client’s relational world and use that substitutes for it.

Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals

Content level: Introductory/Intermediate

• Describe intake screening questions that invite open discussion of clients’ AI use.
