Description: Suicide is a complex human experience that poses myriad harms to millions of people globally every year. Despite its complexity, most suicide prevention models typically emphasize either individual psychological factors or population-level public health concerns. Moreover, socio-ecological and person-in-environment frameworks often overlook historical, developmental, geographic, climatic, and physical environment contexts. The Individual-in-Contexts Model encourages human services professionals and educators to re-conceptualize suicide prevention in terms of the dynamic interplay among six, interconnected contexts. These contexts include historical-developmental, geographic-environmental, structural-institutional, neighborhood-community, family-relational, and the I-self.

Webinar participants will be able to:

  • Define suicide, screening, assessment, intervention, and prevention
  • Identify The Individual-in-Contexts Model core concepts
  • Apply concepts to suicide screening, assessment, and intervention efforts

Is there a Role for AI in Human Services?

Date: October 9th, 10:00 am -11:00 am EST

Presenters: Rebecca Wilson, MSW, LCSW, & Joshua Wilson, Ph.D.

Description: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in human services seems paradoxical, as the essence of human services is deeply rooted in empathy, personal interaction, and human connection. This presentation will explore whether AI can truly contribute to fields that prioritize human-centric care. We will delve into the current and emerging uses of AI within human services, showcasing how AI can complement and enhance human capabilities rather than replace them. Additionally, we will demonstrate a novel application of an AI chatbot designed to support human services coursework, highlighting its potential to provide responsive, personalized practice and feedback to students. Join us to explore this intriguing intersection and envision a future where AI is leveraged to enhance the human services field.
