About the Course

Technology has revolutionized access to mental health services for people around the world. However, the ethical challenges presented by the rapid expansion of the use of technology in our field cannot be overstated. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in mental health practice presents both benefits and significant risks. This session will provide an introductory level of understanding of AI and how it is currently being used in mental health practice, with a significant conversation around the possibilities for the future.

This course is based on the recorded webinar, Artificial Intelligence AI: A Threat to Therapy Or Powerful Problem-Solver? created by Kathryn Krase, Ph.D., J.D., M.S.W. et al in 2025.
