📢 Can we use LLMs to help tackle real-world challenges? Yes! We introduce Patient-Ψ, which uses LLMs to simulate patients to create an interactive framework for training mental health professionals. Read on to learn how we do it! 📄: https://t.co/UdZhTiAjgx 🧵 1/n

Any therapist can tell you that going from the classroom to your first actual patient is a huge leap. Could LLMs help bridge this training gap? Combining LLMs with CBT case formulations, we simulate a one-session therapy client for training therapists to role-play with.

“We’re back in the same place: children dead in the very building where they were sent to learn and grow.” From Newtown, Connecticut, Carol Ann Davis argues nothing has changed since the Sandy Hook shooting to stop it from happening again in Uvalde, Texas: https://t.co/IkYuUb1Vnd

On no other issue of public policy is it considered acceptable for elected leaders to limit their plan to “my wife and I are praying”

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.

"Companion dogs who were trained using punishments, such as yelling or leash-jerking, had higher levels of stress than dogs trained using reward-based methods" If this is happening to dogs, think about the effects it would have on little humans! https://t.co/GcATyCaJ1c @usefulsci
