This resource is an environmental scan of available apps and real-world use. The purpose of the scan was to identify which apps are readily accessible, what features and information are important to young people and better understand how young people are using AI apps for their mental health.

Young people are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) apps and tools when seeking mental health support. Mental health professionals play an important role in helping young people use AI tools safely, understanding their benefits, risks, and limitations.
