OPCSMH webinar addresses AI and mental health of college students
As artificial intelligence (AI) practices become increasingly accessible, college students are turning to them for mental health information, emotional support, companionship and overall well-being.
Join the OPCSMH and psychiatrist Ryan S. Patel D.O., FAPA, on Friday, Nov. 13 at noon EST via Zoom to explore emerging trends in how students use AI for these purposes, including the potential benefits, risks and implications for student mental health and campus support services. Participants will examine real-world cases, discuss legal and ethical considerations, and review current AI safety guidance and emerging AI wellness practices. The session will also highlight key questions for higher education professionals to consider as they navigate the evolving role of AI in student well-being, safety and support.
Dr. Patel is senior staff psychiatrist and chair, research committee at The Ohio State University, and chair, Mental Health section, American College Health Association.
