AI as a Role Play in Therapy
Using Roleplay AI in therapy is a big leap for mental health.

AI Roleplay is not an enabler or a substitute for traditional therapy. It is a complementary tool that extends the accessibility of therapists and drives even more deliverance of support. By incorporating AI roleplay into well-established therapeutic practices, there is potential for facilitating more support during those time periods between sessions.
Exploring New Territories of Mental Health
