Using a Customized AI Tool to Augment School Counseling in a High School Setting

Given the demands on counselor and clinician time in a school, it can be challenging for all students' needs to be met. In this session, you'll learn how Medway High School partnered with Pause Point Health to develop and implement an AI tool to augment school counseling support. The tool was built using the practices of solution-based therapy, motivational interviewing, and appreciative inquiry. This AI tool is used in conjunction with regular meetings with a school counselor, and helps students implement coping strategies, navigate their school day, and feel supported. Objectives: 1. Participants will leave with the knowledge of how an AI tool can augment school counseling. 2. Participants will learn how students felt about engaging with this type of support. 3. Participants will learn about the strengths and challenges as well as lessons learned, along the way of rolling out an AI tool to augment school counseling support.
