On Demand Recording

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, we hosted a 90-minute interactive webinar on the rise of artificial intelligence and its use in the social work profession.

Artificial Intelligence has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade, and, as we often hear, it is not going anywhere. In fact, it will continue to grow across many areas that impact both our personal and professional lives.

In the social work professional setting, AI offers tools that enable us to gather information and resources in record time, thereby strengthening educational environments and advancing the future of diagnosis and treatment for complex mental and behavioral health conditions.

From an operations standpoint, AI streamlines tasks that rapidly fill the professional’s calendar, such as appointment scheduling, progress notes, billing, and reporting. Vendors offering AI solutions are on the rise, providing social workers with unparalleled, highly accurate services.

At Preferra, we aim to share our perspective on risk management in AI for social work practice. Our goal is to provide you with critical concepts to help you establish the safeguards needed to mitigate the potential risks artificial intelligence could pose to your career and work environment.
