Through our recent research, we have learned that helping youth develop cognitive behavioral skills like cognitive reframing has proved difficult when relying on the individual to identify and internalize reframes on their own, without support. This tool integrates an artificial intelligence-assisted component to our modules that will help nudge users to develop cognitive strategies that are more compassionate and reduce the likelihood that users might abandon self-led efforts to develop these all-important skills.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gsc-column col-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-2 col-xs-6 "> <div class="column-inner bg-size-cover " > <div class="column-content-inner"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gsc-column col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12 "> <div class="column-inner bg-size-cover " > <div class="column-content-inner"> <style rel="stylesheet"> #button-7q0b87kd2se9{background:#abce3e;color:#000;border-color:#ABCE3E;} #button-7q0b87kd2se9:hover{background:#fff;color:#000;border-color:#abce3e;} </style> <div class="clearfix"></div> <a href="https://screening.mhanational.org/changing-thoughts-with-an-ai-assistant/" class="gsc-button miaw-button radius-2x extra-large " id="button-7q0b87kd2se9" > Try Changing Thoughts </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gbb-row-wrapper"> <div class=" gbb-row bg-size-cover " style="" > <div class="bb-inner remove_padding_bottom"> <div class="bb-container container"> <div class="row"> <div class="row-wrapper clearfix"> <div id="blue-accordian" class="gsc-column col-lg-7 col-md-7 col-sm-7 col-xs-12 "> <div class="column-inner bg-size-cover " > <div class="column-content-inner"> <div class="column-content " ><h2>Online interventions for substance use and addiction disorders: Answer, Share, Explore</h2> <p>Results from a pilot study in collaboration with the University of California Irvine show that seeing and reacting to others’ answers helps normalize experiences to reduce internalized stigma and builds insight into one’s firsthand experiences.

Users can also compare others’ thoughts to their own experiences with substance use and abuse.</p> <h3 style="margin-top: 12px !important;">Psychosis: Answer, Share, Explore</h3> <p>This tool provides users with an opportunity to share what their experience with possible psychosis is like. This enables users to clarify what about the experience is important to them; help others by sharing their lived experience; and explore the answers of others. The goal of the tool examines how validating experiences can reduce shame and fear associated with psychosis.</p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="gsc-column col-lg-1 col-md-1 col-sm-2 col-xs-6
