SUMMARY
Mental Health technology has the capacity to greatly improve the lives of our clients but also can raise ethical concerns, including privacy, data security, and complacency or dependence on using devices rather than appearing in person for services. Some services using AI technology can be used as a substitute
for human interaction and empathy. In this workshop, we will discuss the limitations
of technology and how to use it as a tool to enhance rather than replace human
connection and support. Telemental health will be spotlighted and tools to
help clients adversely affected by social media will also be shared.
