Wednesday, March 4, 2026, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM, A Live Webinar

Overview
Millions use large language models (LLM) for mental health support in a de facto, unregulated public health intervention, yet evidence remains inconclusive. Gaus et al.’s PRISMA-ScR review of 132 studies on transformer-based LLMs found a major gap between widespread adoption and limited evidence, calling for rigorous trials, stronger safety standards, and clinically meaningful benchmarks. Mental health professionals can join this webinar to gain skills to critically appraise emerging AI tools and apply responsible evaluation standards. Together we will discuss whether and how generative AI can meaningfully and ethically improve access to mental health treatment.

Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, learners should be able to:

  1. Critically appraise research on generative AI and transformer-based LLMs used in mental health care.
  2. Evaluate safety, methodological rigor, and implementation considerations when assessing AI tools for clinical use.
  3. Apply standardized, clinically meaningful benchmarks to determine whether LLM applications are appropriate for integration into practice.
