AI Guidance for Therapeutic Schools and Programs

Why This Guidance Matters
Artificial intelligence is rapidly entering the sectors that shape therapeutic care — behavioral healthcare, education, and organizational operations. The decisions programs make now about how to evaluate and adopt these tools will have lasting implications for clinical quality, student safety, and public trust.
Governance and Organizational Readiness
Responsible AI adoption is as much an organizational commitment as a technical one. Programs that establish clear structures before scaling use are better positioned to manage risk, support staff, and respond to evolving standards.
A Thoughtful Path Forward
Programs that adopt AI thoughtfully, proportionally, and transparently — while preserving human judgment and student-centered care — will be best positioned to harness innovation responsibly.
