According to the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, approxi­mately 10% of US adults fill one or more antidepressant prescriptions each year, with many of these prescriptions coming from non-psychiatrists. They are some of the most widely prescribed medications of our generation. As more and more patients are prescribed antidepressants and other psychotropic medications, an increased need and responsibility is raised for non-prescribing therapists to be knowledgeable enough to work more effectively with patients and their prescribers in this arena. The follow­ing webinar is intended to be an introductory course that offers general, yet comprehensive information about psy­chopharmacology, including understanding neurobiological underpinnings of how medications work, commonly pre­scribed drug categories, how to work more effectively with patients, and how to work more effectively with prescrib­ers. Unique to this webinar will be the inclusion of how to maximize treatment outcomes and effectively use collab­orative care strategies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering the therapy world and reshaping how treatments are delivered, therapists’ workflow, and the clients’ use of chatbots and digital companions. This training helps clinicians understand what is already possible, what remains aspirational, and how to use AI responsibly and effectively in their own practice.
 

Participants will learn practical strategies for using AI to improve documentation, psychoeducation, and clinical efficiency; evaluate how clients’ engagement with chatbots affects therapeutic dynamics; and apply ethical, cultural, and relational lenses to these emerging technologies. Through demonstrations, discussions, and guided exercises, therapists will leave with tools and frameworks for evaluating and integrating AI while maintaining human connection, equity, and professional ethics.
