Your Perspectives on AI in Education & Mental Health Survey

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve across education, behavioral healthcare, and social work practice, NASW-CA is continuing to gather member feedback to better understand how these technologies are affecting the profession.

Your feedback will help NASW-CA better understand how AI is impacting social workers, clients, students, and the delivery of ethical, high-quality services. Responses will inform NASW-CA's policy discussions and advocacy efforts focused on promoting the responsible, equitable, and effective use of AI while protecting client privacy, professional standards, and the integrity of social work practice.

We encourage you to review the report before completing this brief survey.
