Artificial Intelligence (AI) in TeleBehavioral Health:
Promise, Practice and Responsibility
The TeleBehavioral Health Summit (TeleBH Summit) is a two-day CME-accredited virtual conference focused on the growing role of artificial intelligence and digital innovation in behavioral health care. The Summit is offered at no cost.
Building on the Behavioral Health Institute’s TeleBehavioral Health Training Series, the TeleBH Summit brings together national experts, clinicians, policymakers, and thought leaders to examine how AI is shaping behavioral health practice today and how providers can engage with these tools safely, ethically, and effectively. The Summit emphasizes practical, frontline-focused education that supports clinical judgment, patient safety, equity, and regulatory compliance in an increasingly technology-enabled care environment.
Over two days, participants will gain a foundational understanding of AI concepts, exploring real-world clinical applications and risks, and developing skills for responsible integration into everyday workflows. Sessions address clinical use cases, legal and ethical considerations, patient communication, policy and regulatory trends, and strategies for sustaining high-quality, person-centered care.
The TeleBH Summit is designed for anyone providing, supervising, or leading behavioral health services, including clinicians, peer professionals, administrators, and system leaders, who want to better understand AI’s impact on mental health and substance use care and their role in shaping its responsible use.
