Safe, Supported, Expected, Rewarded: A Road Map for AI Adoption

Before behavioral health organizations can transform with AI, they first need the confidence to start. In this episode, AI expert Trent Gillespie shares practical insights on building trust, driving experimentation and helping teams embrace change while keeping people, purpose and mission at the center of AI adoption. Mohini and Trent explore how organizations can move beyond AI experimentation and build lasting adoption.
