A trauma-informed workshop for educators on using AI tools to help adult migrant learners access mental health information, self-care resources, and well-being support in their host country.<\/p>\n

Learning Objectives<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Participants will be able to:<\/li>\n
  • Use AI tools to find and simplify mental health information in the host country language.<\/li>\n
  • Access multilingual mental health resources using AI translation tools.<\/li>\n
  • Explore AI-powered wellness apps for self-care and stress management.<\/li>\n
  • Identify the boundaries of AI support and know when to refer to human professionals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Utensils<\/h2>\n

    Smartphones, tablets, or computers with internet access<\/p>\n

    Headphones (recommended for wellness app activities)<\/p>\n

    Printed or digital list of local mental health support services<\/p>\n

    Safe, calm classroom environment for sensitive discussions<\/p>\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Research and compile a list of local mental health support services, including multilingual options.<\/li>\n
    • Test AI tools with mental health-related prompts to understand the quality and limitations of responses.<\/li>\n
    • Prepare a clear statement on the limitations of AI for mental health support (AI is not a therapist).<\/li>\n
    • Create a safe space agreement with the group before beginning sensitive discussions.<\/li>\n
    • Identify a local mental health professional who could be invited as a guest speaker.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Implementation Steps<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Opening (10 min): Establish a safe space. Acknowledge that mental health is a sensitive topic. Remind participants that they can step out at any time.<\/li>\n
      • AI for Information (20 min): Demonstrate using ChatGPT to simplify a mental health information leaflet. Example prompt: "Explain what anxiety is in simple language for someone at A2 English level." Show how to use DeepL to translate the result into participants' home languages.<\/li>\n
      • Wellness App Exploration (15 min): Introduce one free wellness app (e.g. Calm free tier, Smiling Mind). Participants explore a short guided breathing or mindfulness exercise.<\/li>\n
      • Boundaries of AI (10 min): Discuss: When is AI helpful for mental health? When is it not enough? Introduce the concept of "AI as a first step, not a solution."<\/li>\n
      • Local Resources (10 min): Share the local mental health resource list. Practise using AI to find additional local services: "What mental health support is available for migrants in [city]?"<\/li>\n
      • Closing (5 min): Each participant identifies one self-care strategy they will try this week.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Differentiation & Inclusion<\/h2>\n
          \n
        • For trauma-affected learners: Keep activities optional and non-intrusive; never require sharing personal experiences.<\/li>\n
        • For learners with low digital literacy: Focus on the translation tool only; keep the activity simple and low-pressure.<\/li>\n
        • For multilingual groups: Ensure all key resources are available in participants' home languages.<\/li>\n
        • Always have a referral pathway ready for learners who disclose distress during the session.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
