Human at the Center: Practical AI Tools for Everyday Practice by Debra Harper-LeBlanc:

Frontline professionals are increasingly faced with growing administrative responsibilities alongside the diverse needs of their clients. This practical workshop aims to demonstrate how artificial intelligence (AI) tools can effectively assist with tasks such as documentation, creating client education materials, and coordinating resources – all while maintaining empathy and professional judgement.

Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to explore suitable use cases for AI and establish clear boundaries regarding its implementation. By the end of the session, attendees will gain valuable insights into leveraging AI tools to enhance their professional practice without compromising the essential human element inherent in client care. We practice without compromising the essential human element in client care.

We invite you to join us in discovering practical solutions that promote efficiency while maintaining a client-centered focus.
