Dear Network, We're conducting a survey to gain insight into the needs and concerns of using AI chatbots for mental health support. Your responses will help guide our research into the needs and concerns of different stakeholders and the development of ethical guidelines for the use of AI chatbots for mental health support. Why is this important? AI chatbots, such as ChatGPT, can simulate conversations as if you were talking to a human therapist. They offer many possibilities, but also come with risks and ethical issues. We want to explore these issues to develop clear guidelines for the responsible use of AI chatbots in mental health care.   Who can participate? Patients/clients: Are you currently in therapy or have you been in therapy in the last 12 months? [👉Accessible through: https://lnkd.in/e2C-t9XS ] Mental health professionals: Do you have expertise in treating or supporting people with mental health issues? [👉Accessible through: https://lnkd.in/edJqrRR2 ] Potential users/anyone: Have you sought mental health support in the past, or might you seek it now or in the future? [👉Accessible through: https://lnkd.in/eFBi3Mdj ]   Please use the link after each group description to complete the survey for the group you belong to. The survey will take about 5-10 minutes to complete.
