Overview

This model is designed as a therapist assistant to support mental health professionals during client visits. It helps therapists engage with clients in a structured, empathetic way by facilitating emotional exploration, exploring concerns, and practicing active listening in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

The assistant supports real-time reflection and contextualization of client experiences, helping therapists prepare for and deepen their understanding of client narratives — always recognizing that it does not replace professional clinical judgment or therapeutic intervention.

Intended Use

• Supporting mental health professionals during client visits by providing real-time, empathetic guidance for emotional reflection and visitor engagement
• Facilitating structured, compassionate dialogue to help therapists explore visitor concerns, validate emotions, and practice active listening
• Assisting therapists in contextualizing visitor experiences through reflective, non-judgmental prompts that promote deeper understanding and therapeutic rapport
• Helping clinicians prepare for and navigate sensitive conversations in a way that respects client autonomy, dignity, and emotional well-being

Key Features

• Empathetic, non-judgmental responses
• Structured support for emotional exploration
• Safe space for discussing mental health concerns
• Designed to enhance user preparation for professional therapy sessions

Ethical & Safety Guidelines

⚠️ Important Limitations:

• ❌ Cannot diagnose, assess, or provide medical advice
• ❌ Cannot replace therapy, counseling, or crisis intervention
• ❌ Should not be used during active crises (e.g., suicidal ideation, self-harm, psychosis)
• ❌ Not intended as a substitute for a licensed mental health professional

🚨 Crisis Response Protocol:
If a user expresses suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or severe emotional distress — the model will:

1. Acknowledge the seriousness of the situation

3. Immediately prompt the user to contact a licensed therapist or emergency services

💡 Safety Mechanisms:

• Automatic detection of crisis indicators (e.g., "I want to hurt myself", "I can't go on")

• All outputs are designed to prioritize user safety and well-being

Usage Notes

• Should be used in conjunction with, not instead of, professional therapy
• Not recommended for individuals experiencing active mental health crises
