Hey everyone, Paul and Ray here from the Psych2 Practice Podcast, and today we've got some exciting news to share. When we first started this podcast, our goal was simple create practical, evidence-informed conversations that busy mental health professionals can actually use. Since then, this community has helped us grow in ways that we never imagined. We've expanded from a podcast into offering continuing education, live and on-demand webinars, and a growing library of resources designed to help clinicians keep learning in ways that fit real life. And now we're excited to take the next step.

That means you'll continue to get fresh content every week without having to subscribe to anything new. If you've been with us for a while, Dan won't need much of an introduction. He's been a huge part of the journey behind the scenes, helping shape psych to practice from a passion project into the educational platform it is today. Joining him is Dr. Adam Lockwood, and together they bring years of experience helping mental health professionals thoughtfully integrate artificial intelligence into clinical practice, education, supervision, and everyday workflows.

Beyond the bot is about asking the bigger questions. How can AI actually make us better clinicians? Where are the opportunities, the limitations, and the ethical considerations? What tools are worth your time and how can you use them responsibly to work smarter without losing the human connection that's at the heart of our profession? Whether you're AI curious, already experimenting with new tools, or wondering how this technology is going to shape the future of mental health, Beyond the Bot is designed to give you practical strategies, honest conversations, and actionable takeaways you can put into practice. We're incredibly excited to add Beyond the Bot as part of Psych2Practice Productions, and we can't wait for you to hear what they've been working on.
