The world is changing, and AI is impacting all areas of life, including mental health.

To join, it’s super simple! Just click this link (or the image above), submit your email, and you’re all set!

This Week’s Practice Management Tip

Connect with School Counselors for Referrals

Looking for a referral source that costs you absolutely $0?

If you work with kids and families, local school counselors are often an untapped market. Most school counselors have limited resources and even fewer referral connections. A typical ratio for school counselors is over 500 students per counselor, so each school counselor you create a rapport and connection with is a potential gold mine of referrals.

Make a point to reach out to every school counselor in your area of service. See if you can set up a time to come by and share information about your practice. Make sure to leave plenty of business cards.

This can GREATLY impact your referrals quickly; and again, costs $0.

I actually did a deeper dive on hpy on my other newsletter, Mental Health AI, but check out this new app that is working to help therapists do their job more efficiently and effectively.

Honestly, that seems like a silly title… I do think some of the points made in the article are helpful though.
