Presidents LetterDear Monterey County CAMFT Community, We are excited to share an important opportunity for our professional community and warmly encourage you to join us for our upcoming workshop, Digital Wellness and AI: An Introduction for Therapists. This timely and compelling event speaks directly to the rapidly shifting technological landscape that is shaping our clients’ lives and our work as clinicians. This special offering, presented by Chad Dispenza, invites us into a thoughtful and informed conversation about social media, the attention economy, and the growing presence of artificial intelligence within the helping professions. Chad brings years of experience and deep exposure to social media culture, not simply as an observer, but as someone who has lived within these systems as an insider. His work reflects a rare combination of firsthand knowledge, professional insight, and genuine concern for the psychological and social impacts of emerging technologies. As Director of the California Center for Digital Wellbeing, he has dedicated his career to helping educators, clinicians, and communities understand the often-invisible forces shaping attention, behavior, and meaning in a digitally saturated world. At a time when AI technologies and persuasive digital platforms are evolving at extraordinary speed, Chad is bringing his expertise, wisdom, and thoughtful concern directly to our professional helping community. This workshop offers a space for reflection, learning, and dialogue about developments that are already influencing mental health practice — and will continue to do so in profound ways. Workshop Highlights Include: Hour 1: Digital Wellness Hour 2: Understanding AI Event Details: As therapists, we are called to understand the contexts shaping the lives of those we serve. This workshop offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen our awareness of the technological forces influencing identity, attention, relationships, and wellbeing today. We believe this conversation is not only relevant — it is essential. We hope you will join us for what promises to be an engaging, informative, and thought-provoking gathering. Warmly, |
