Curious about AI but unsure how to use it responsibly in a helping profession? This interactive 1-hour lab is designed for coaches, counselors, and mental health practitioners who want practical ways to use AI for support tasks—without compromising confidentiality, ethics, or clinical judgment.

This is not a lecture-style class. You’ll build a reusable “AI Practice Kit” (Persona + DNA + Playbook) and use it to create one finished deliverable you can use right away.

What we’ll cover:

In this session you’ll learn how to:

• Use ChatGPT settings and basic habits to reduce risk and protect privacy
• Create your AI Practice Kit:  Persona (your role, audience, boundaries), DNA (tone, values, language preferences, Playbook (your workflow, safety rules, and output preferences)
•  
• Add a short sample of your own writing (de-identified) so AI can better match your tone
• Use voice input to capture ideas quickly and turn them into clean drafts
• Search chats to reuse your best prompts and save time
• Apply the Practice Kit to a real “project” (choose one):  client worksheet / reflection prompts, between-session message templates, role-play scripts for difficult conversations. group session outline or psychoeducation handout

What you’ll leave with

You’ll walk away with:

• A copy/paste AI Practice Kit you can reuse for any future prompt
• A simple method for de-identifying information and staying within scope
• One completed draft deliverable tailored to your voice and practice style

Who this is for

• Coaches, counselors, therapists, case managers, and other helping professionals
• Anyone who wants to use AI for writing, planning, and communication support—while keeping boundaries clear

What to bring

• A laptop (recommended)
• One short sample of your writing you’re comfortable sharing without identifying client information (a de-identified email, handout paragraph, or script works well)
