  • — Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

    I came in skeptical about AI in social work—but left feeling curious, informed, and excited to explore the possibilities. The resources Dr. Badillo-Diaz shared were incredibly helpful.

  • — Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

    Dr. Badillo-Diaz was very informative and offered many helpful aids to learning and working with AI to make it useful in the care of our clients. I loved all the prompts asking to use AI to help create solutions. It was an  exceptional training!


  • — Collected through Anonymous Evaluation – AI Training

    I enjoyed the Chat GPT usage for SW notes.This was a very Interesting workshop. I've not even considered using this tool until now. The definition and types of AI was educational. I didn't know there were "types" of AI. I appreciated the live demonstrations. Security, confidentiality, and privacy need to be highly considered. Absolutely love the AI prompting guidebook.
