Use ChatGPT and mental health apps safely: spot unsafe tools, avoid harmful patterns, and protect your privacy

What you'll learn
Audit any AI mental health tool in about ten minutes, using six criteria: evidence, escalation, boundaries, data, incentives, and fail-safes.
Tell a real "evidence-based" claim from a marketing one, using a five-rung ladder that runs from the modality to independent peer review.
Recognize the conversational patterns AI pulls you into — validation loops, co-rumination, belief amplification — and interrupt them in the moment.
Spot CBT being misapplied: reassurance sold as cognitive restructuring, "positive thinking" sold as therapy, exposure with no hierarchy or plan.
Test a tool's crisis response safely, and judge whether the resources it returns are relevant to the country you are actually in.
Decide in advance what you will and will not bring to an AI, using a green, yellow and red list you write while calm rather than mid-crisis.
Protect your privacy in a chat window: what should never go in one, and what deletion does and does not mean once it has.
Talk to someone you love about their AI use without ending the conversation, and bring your own transcripts to your therapist.

Requirements
No clinical or technical background needed. If you have ever typed how you're feeling into a chatbot, you already have the only prerequisite that matters.
Access to any AI tool you already use — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or a dedicated mental health app. You'll run the audit on it yourself, in the course.
