Description
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 appear 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 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.
Objectives

At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Understand concerns regarding privacy and data security when using technology (including use of cell phones)
  • Provide a comprehensive Telementalhealth Consent form which outlines benefits and limitations of these services
  • Conduct Telementalhealth sessions in a HIPAA-approved manner.
  • Discuss social media challenges.
