FREE WEBINAR – Digital Wellness in an Age of AI

AI companions. Nudification. Sextortion. AI-powered scams. Teachers, school leaders and student support staff are working with students in an integrated digital and physical world that is so much more complex than 5-10 years ago. The adolescents and teens we care about are expected to learn to use AI ethically, and develop the self awareness to know when AI use is harming more than helping. In this session you will learn about each of these topics, what to do if a student discloses these struggles, and how to make prevention part of your practice.
