In this presentation, we will explore innovative approaches to supporting and engaging young people in their mental health journey. With the rise of technology, it’s essential to evolve the tools we use in mental health care to better connect with today’s youth. ANTSA, a groundbreaking digital solution, offers an interactive and empowering way to support young clients between sessions, providing real-time tracking of emotions, mood patterns, and other mental health indicators.
We will examine how ANTSA integrates artificial intelligence, specifically with the AI therapist chatbot, jAImee, to ensure that young people have continuous access to support outside traditional therapy settings. Importantly, in this world-first platform, clinicians retain oversight of jAImee’s interactions, ensuring that therapeutic guidance aligns with the client’s specific needs. This approach aligns with the need for accessible, user-friendly mental health tools tailored to a generation already fluent in digital interactions.
Furthermore, this presentation will address how mental health practitioners can use ANTSA to foster stronger therapeutic alliances, enhance client engagement, and encourage self-awareness and emotional growth among young people. We will also highlight the platform's ability to provide clinicians with valuable insights, ensuring personalised and responsive care for young clients.
Additionally, we will discuss the importance of strict adherence to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). As clinicians we must ensure that all user data is protected and managed with the highest standards of confidentiality. This commitment to privacy reassures both clinicians and clients that their information is secure within a compliant, safe platform.
By leveraging ANTSA’s capabilities, mental health professionals can empower the next generation to take control of their mental wellness, ultimately shaping a more resilient, aware, and mentally healthy future all while ensuring clinicians maintain oversight of the therapeutic process.
