The escalating need for accessible, and effective mental health care has been accentuated by global crises. These circumstances have highlighted the importance for digital and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled services to substantially enhance the accessibility of mental health services, mitigate stigma, and improve patient outcomes. ANTSA, a pioneering digital program, seeks to revolutionise mental health care by combining professional mental health expertise with cutting-edge technology, thus narrowing the gap between individuals requiring mental health support and the available services.
Examining the literature from the World Health Organisation and the Australian Psychological Society reveals a marked demand for globally accessible and cost-effective mental health treatment. The integration of AI within mental health care offers personalised support, predictive analytics to gauge intervention success, and streamlined resource access, directly addressing these critical deficiencies. Platforms like ANTSA epitomise the potential for future global mental health interventions, that are innovative, stigma-free, and comprehensive mental health solutions that are available at any time they are needed. In essence, the adoption of AI and digital platforms in mental health care signifies a crucial step towards devising empathetic, scalable strategies to surmount existing barriers in the mental health field, ensuring that mental health support becomes universally accessible, irrespective of socioeconomic factors.

Neurocognitive skills training has emerged as a broad multi model transdiagnostic intervention to address not only organic based functional loss but psychiatric symptoms and physiological rehabilitation. Along with evidence-based intervention, data and feedback informed treatment, this encompassing approach aligns all modalities under one neuroscientific perspective.

This interactive workshop will introduce The NeuroCog® System of neurocognitive training developed by Dr. Stephen Wolfson PhD based on his 25 years of clinical research and practice. Attendees will learn how to apply continuous affect data measure acquired by the Neury® mobile app to a variety of problems and case formulations within multiple modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, psychodynamic, and schema psychotherapy.

An overview of the theoretical and experimental foundations of neurocognitive training will be shared and discussed based on The NeuroCog® System Manual, to be distributed in an eBook format prior to the workshop.
