Hi @gaelle charlot. Thank you for sharing this. Could you edit this post to add a little more reflection/context (as not all group members will have used AI in their practice)? For example, are these graphics based on research? Or has AI itself generated them?

Conversational AI and Mental Health

“Following a discussion with my colleague, nurse Flavie Pons, about the use and misuse of #AI in #care by our #patients in #psychiatry… These two draft diagrams have started to spark my thinking… And yours?”

Hi there Gaelle. Interesting introduction. I'm in neurological practice not mental health, but curious about how AI is being used more widely in healthcare. Could you share a bit more about your feelings on how it's being used well, or in ways that concern you?

Creative AI used: SunoIA


 Author: Gaëlle Charlot


 Software: ChatGPT


 Date: October 14, 2025


"I am beginning to explore the use of AI as a therapeutic mediator in psychiatry, supporting the expression of emotions and internal conflicts, the structuring of thought processes, engagement with the reality principle, and the development of frustration tolerance, for example through activities such as painting, collage, and similar creative exercises.

AI and suicidal thoughts


✨ When a patient shares that they turned to ChatGPT in moments of #loneliness or with #suicidalThoughts, it raises important questions:


👉 Could AI become a tool or a therapeutic mediator in our practices?


 👉 Could we guide our patients to use these new technologies in a safe, meaningful, and supportive way?


💡 Mental health prevention also means embracing innovation and helping people build responsible digital habits.

Discuss clinical applicability of research - to enhance your evidence-based practice and continuing professional development (CPD)!


-What is a journal club?-


A journal club (JC) is a group of individuals who meet regularly to critically discuss the clinical applicability of articles in current research journals. They are usually facilitated by a host/facilitator, who chooses a relevant article and prepares learning points for discussion.


Running for over a century, JCs have acted as a powerful education tool. They evolved in healthcare to encourage scholarly activity and research awareness, through reading and discussion of journal articles. In the medical field (medicine, radiology, nursing, etc), they have been going for some time. In general, only regional occupational therapy JCs have been active...


-Why participate - and in this JC?-


With pressures of modern life, keeping abreast of rapidly-growing medical literature can be difficult. However...

Research has (itself) shown that JCs are an effective method for improving evidence-based practice, knowledge and skills.

Barriers to running more traditional, 'in-person' JCs can include:

  • Challenges organising hosts and participants to meet at set times

  • Difficulty recruiting regional experts

  • Effort and time spent having a limited, local impact


But with today's technology, online education can open up learning possibilities - without geographical or time constraints. With the privilege of a global community, the Hub is pleased to bring you a FREE and open-access journal club!


-How does it work?-


  1. An open-access journal article is selected periodically by a Hub Member, who takes the role of JC host, over a few months.

  2. A summary and review of the article is posted in The OT Journal Club section of OT Circles, by the host.

  3. The JC is then open for online discussion and critique, providing shared learning and professional development.

  4. Participants can then print the JC page, with their input, as a record for their CPD/CEU file!




-Interested in being a JC host?-


Participate in The OT Journal Club (on The Occupational Therapy Hub)


To understand how the JC is structured, check out a previous one. For example:


To get started, please consider:

  • what topic or theme you would like to discuss

  • if you have a specific journal article in mind (must be open-access)


Then get in touch with the Hub Team, via either of the following:


We will assist you through the full process. This would start with you summarising and critiquing your chosen article - sending us a draft in email or Word format.


The Hub Team looks forward to your participation and to growing this collective knowledge base!

Looking for cognitive resources to support an 18 year old in year 13, to aid his concentration and processing to help him with his studying.


I'd like some paperbased resources plus any more interactive cognitive resources.

Yet to complete full cognitive ax but likely needs help with concentration, processing speed, working memory, comprehension.


Any resource ideas?

Hey there Sam. With consent, I'm passing on list of recommendations provided by Katherine Anderson, via our Facebook group:


1) To address executive functioning skills research the ADHD written protocols available now - as they address executive functioning often impacted with TBIs.


2) Have him set up a daily task schedule - so the student's ADLs are done routinely. Supporting rest breaks, exercise and meal times.


3) Limits on screen time.


4) Consider blue tint glasses to reduce strain on eyes. Palming ex can be good if vision was impacted - to reduce eye strain.


5) Adaptive equipment - voice to text if typing is slow or still difficult. One handed keyboard if hemiplegia impacting ability to type with both hands.


5) Menu planning - to ensure good nutrition intake and fluid intake. Exercise and nutrition are as important if not more important than the rest to continue decreased brain inflammation and healing.


6) Sleep hygiene - check in to ensure he is sleeping well and address with the above as needed. Consider a grounding sheet - check them out on Amazon.


He may not need all of these but worth a consideration.
