Workshop Description
This workshop examines emerging AI tools that can enhance clinical supervision and training in psychology and mental health. It addresses current challenges in supervision and training, reviews emerging research on integrating AI tools, and illustrates an AI-integrated supervision and training center using aari (an AI-enabled supervision and training product) as a case study. Participants will be invited to consider how supervisors can use AI tools to augment, not replace, human connection to improve the quality, efficiency, and accessibility of care, support, and training.
