AI Implementation, Safety and the Future of Mental Health

This course is designed for students and professionals in psychology, medicine, and other clinical disciplines who want to move from understanding AI to implementing it responsibly in mental health practice. Building on the foundations and clinical applications covered in the previous courses, you will explore what responsible AI implementation looks like in real clinical settings. You will examine how to integrate AI into clinical workflows, considering intended use, stakeholder needs, ethical principles, and legal frameworks. You will also explore how different stakeholders — including patients, clinicians, developers, and healthcare organizations — perceive and experience AI in mental health, and what this means for how it should be designed, deployed, and monitored. By the end of this course, you will be equipped to think critically about the role AI should play in mental health care, and to actively contribute to how the profession navigates this rapidly evolving landscape.
