November Webinar - AI in MFT Today: Ethics, Simulation, & Client Use

COURSE DETAILS

This presentation offers a clear look at how artificial intelligence is showing up in marriage and family therapy, both the opportunities and the concerns. We’ll explore how therapists can use AI responsibly in documentation and supervision, how simulation tools are helping students and associates build clinical skills, and how to guide clients who are already turning to AI for mental health support. Participants will leave with practical ideas for ethical use, examples of how AI can enhance training and practice, and ways to address client use of AI within a therapeutic framework.
