Who it's for
Grounding for anyone meeting AI in this work.
Built for counselors, supervisors, educators, and graduate students who want to engage AI without surrendering relational integrity. If AI is entering your practice, your classroom, or your supervision, this is the grounding underneath it.
The framework
Five lenses for every AI decision.
Care ethics gives you five questions to bring to any tool.
Attentiveness
Noticing where a tool touches the client's experience.
Responsibility
Owning the clinical decision the tool informs.
Competence
Knowing what the tool does and where it fails.
Responsiveness
Staying attuned to the client, not the interface.
Trust
Protecting the relationship the whole enterprise rests on.
What's inside
Four modules, one throughline.
Foundations
Care ethics, and why AI needs it.
Application
Putting the framework to work in real counseling decisions.
Cultural Responsiveness and Algorithmic Bias
Where AI causes harm, and how to see it.
Implementation
Building ethical AI use into your practice, class, or program.
You leave with decision-making tools you will use throughout your career, plus informed-consent language and concrete guardrails you can apply the same week.
