Start with the question your team needs to answer. This guide brings the collection together. It includes articles, a shared framework, talk summaries, training lessons, and practical tools.
The collection offers learning materials. It does not approve a tool, certify a team, or replace care, privacy, legal, or billing review. The available services are free speaking and free training.
Start here
If AI is new to you, read the practical introduction and the plain-language terms guide. If you are choosing a tool, start with the purchasing checklist. If a tool will handle client information, read the client-information article and trace the data before using it.
For a team session, choose one training lesson. Each lesson stands on its own. Use its made-up cases rather than private client records.
Articles and the shared framework
- Responsible AI in Behavioral Health: A Practical Introduction
- What Every Therapist Should Understand About Generative AI
- AI Hallucinations: Why Behavioral Health Professionals Should Care
- Can I Put Client Information Into an AI Tool?
- AI and Clinical Documentation: Benefits, Risks, and Human Oversight
- How Should Therapists Respond When Clients Use ChatGPT for Mental Health Advice?
- What Behavioral Health Leaders Should Know About Shadow AI
- The Human-in-the-Loop Principle: Why Clinical Responsibility Cannot Simply Be Delegated to AI
- Behavioral Health Responsible AI Framework
- A Responsible AI Governance Framework for Behavioral Health Organizations
The master framework has five domains: Clinical Appropriateness, Privacy & Security, Reliability & Safety, Human Oversight, and Governance & Accountability. The governance article applies those same domains. It does not create a second framework. This is an evolving working guide, not a validated scale or certification.
Plain-language terms and practical tools
- AI Terms for Care Teams: learn useful terms with examples.
- Before You Buy an AI Tool: 25 Questions Behavioral Health Leaders Should Ask: guide a vendor discussion.
- AI Data-Handling Worksheet: map where information goes and who can access it.
- AI Scribe Patient Consent: a blank form to adapt after review for your setting.
The purchasing checklist and data worksheet are the existing tools. They have been kept rather than rewritten. The consent form needs review for the tool, care setting, and applicable rules. Do not send completed forms or client information through this website.
Free speaking: talk summaries
These summaries help organizations discuss a possible free talk with Cody. They describe the audience and learning aims.
- AI Basics for Behavioral Health
- Responsible AI Use in Care
- Human Review of AI Work
- Clear AI Rules for Teams
Free training: six complete lessons
Choose the lesson that fits the group's work. A new staff group may need basic AI literacy. A team that already uses approved tools may need more practice checking drafts.
- Clinician AI Literacy: Start with AI basics, task choices, private data, and preserving meaning.
- Responsible Generative AI Use: Practice a full draft-to-final process, clear requests, and careful review.
- Leadership Education: Set goals, plan a small trial, and compare the whole cost of the work.
- Organizational AI Awareness: Help all staff understand approved uses, ask for help, and report problems.
- Governance Workshop: Practice five-domain review, decision records, changes, and staff instructions.
- Clinical and Ethical Case Discussions: Discuss client choice, fair notes, chatbot advice, and accurate records.
Each module includes lesson content, learning goals, facilitator guidance, activities, made-up cases, and answer or discussion notes. None grants continuing education credit or proves legal compliance.
Suggested reading and training order
Begin with the practical introduction, AI terms, and generative AI article. Next, read about false AI answers and client information. Those topics give people a base for later choices.
Then choose the article closest to your work: documentation, client chatbot use, shadow AI, or human review. Leaders can use the master framework and governance article together. Bring the purchasing checklist and data worksheet into a real review process.
For training, use this order when the same group will take all six lessons: Clinician AI Literacy; Responsible Generative AI Use; Leadership Education; Organizational AI Awareness; Governance Workshop; Clinical and Ethical Case Discussions. Adjust for the audience. Staff do not need to take a leadership lesson to ask a privacy question or report an error.
Use talk summaries when planning an event. Use the consent form only after the needed review. Revisit sources and team rules when a tool or its terms change.
Completeness audit
This audit was completed on October 11, 2026. The public collection contains 25 resource pages, including this index: ten articles and framework resources, four talk summaries, six training modules, the terms guide, three practical tools, and this collection guide.
The retained scheduled work is complete. All six training modules have separate editable drafts and their own public pages. The final index records the collection and its order. Written, reviewed, and published status is tracked separately in the working manifest.
The review checked the retained draft files, local page links, library entries, training links, and the five shared framework domains. Each training lesson has a distinct focus and includes practice and debrief notes. The source reviews distinguish law, professional standards, voluntary guidance, and team policy. Possible gains are presented as possibilities, with human review and limits.
This is an editorial and completeness check. It is not an independent clinical evaluation, accessibility certification, or legal compliance audit. Working links and a successful deployment do not prove that a tool is safe or that a lesson fits every setting.
All 21 consulting and advisory deliverables were cancelled at Cody's request. They are excluded from completion counts and have not been created for this remaining queue. The withdrawn 45-minute presentation remains off the website. Its local notes are retained for Cody's own use. The public terms guide does not include the removed editable-guide link.
Publication-order record
The collection was built in this order: the eight core articles; the master framework; its companion governance article; the four retained talk summaries; the six training modules; then this index and audit. The terms guide and consent resource were added through separate website requests. The purchasing checklist and data worksheet were already complete when this queue began.
The withdrawn presentation was removed and is not part of the public reading order. Consulting work was cancelled. This record explains the retained collection; it is not a plan to restore removed work.
Keep the collection useful
Use the lessons to make one clear improvement at a time. Name who will follow up. Ask whether the change helps clients and staff, and whether review adds work. Update a resource when its sources, tools, or setting change.
The aim is practical: use AI in ways that leave more room for human care. Better notes, easier daily tasks, and clearer choices can support that goal when teams check the results.
Sources and review scope
This index summarizes the site's own resource files and progress record as of October 11, 2026. Each linked resource carries its own sources and scope. Read those sources before applying a claim to your setting. No new clinical benefit or legal requirement is established by this index.
