AI, Technology, and Digital Ethics for Mental Health and Substance Use Practitioners

Course overview

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer on the horizon of clinical practice; it is in the consultation room. Mental health providers across almost all professional settings encounter AI tools in documentation workflows, electronic health records, transcription software, and client-facing digital platforms. Often, providers are asked to learn or use these systems without fully understanding how they work, what they can and cannot do, where they fail, and what clinicians owe their clients by way of AI use disclosure. This course provides a grounded, clinically relevant framework for navigating the ethical, epistemic, and relational dimensions of AI integration in behavioral health care.
