    The Future of Care: How Emerging AI Technologies Will Transform Treatment and Recovery (2.0 CEU)
    Friday, December 5, 2025 • 9:00am - 12:00pm

    This workshop explores the impact of Imposter Syndrome, particularly for People of Color who navigate spaces where they may not see others who look like them.

    PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES:

    • Describe at least three ways AI can enhance assessment, engagement, and recovery outcomes.
    • Identify leading AI companies and technologies relevant to SUD and mental health treatment.
    • Evaluate AI solutions using key criteria: effectiveness, privacy, ethical use, and cultural fit.
    • Explain the EAP’s role in advising organizations on AI adoption in behavioral health.
    • Recognize the opportunities and limitations of AI in treatment and recovery contexts.
