Better Me Better Us Episode 41 - Artificial Intelligence
This month we explore A.I. : the benefits, the pitfalls, and its role in social work assessments and recordings. Children who have experienced trauma heal through safe, attuned relationships, and no tool can replace human connection.
We also talk about learning alongside our children in a fast-changing digital world, building the trust and openness that help keep them safe.
