Reimagining Professional Development in Suicide Prevention: Ethical and Reflective Uses of Generative AI
In this course, Dr. Jonathan Singer explains how to reimagine suicide-prevention professional development with generative AI – focusing on provider-side, ethical, reflective uses such as research exploration, grounded note-based querying, and simulated role-plays to practise empathic micro-skills – while clearly distinguishing these from client-facing applications.
About this course
<p>In this course, Dr. Jonathan Singer, Loyola University Chicago, introduces a pragmatic framework for using AI to deepen knowledge, build skills, and support creative growth in suicide-prevention training. He contrasts large language model (LLM) outputs with web search, highlights source-bounded notebooks, and demonstrates provider-side simulations that respect ethics. Participants leave with concrete, ethically grounded workflows they can apply to their own professional development.</p>
