Missed today’s 3rd Annual Virtual Ethics Institute? Here’s what participants had to say:

“This gave me a whole new framework for thinking about AI in my practice.”
“I appreciated how real and honest the conversations were about risk, ethics, and responsibility.”
“One of the most engaging virtual trainings I’ve been part of.”
“I feel more confident navigating these issues with clients and colleagues.”
“The balance of big-picture thinking and practical application was exactly what I needed.”

From unpacking what AI actually is to exploring its impact on ethics, supervision, and client care, today’s Institute sparked thoughtful, grounded conversations about where our profession is headed. Thanks to everyone who presented and attended!

If you weren’t able to join us live, recording access will be available for purchase soon.
