This webinar explores how educators can use AI to enhance, rather than replace the human connections that underpin student wellbeing. With a focus on empathy, equity, and psychological safety, we’ll examine how AI can be used to strengthen student voice, support inclusive practices, and create emotionally intelligent learning environments. The session also addresses ethical use, digital responsibility, and the role of AI in building sustainable, relationship-based wellbeing systems that align with the Wellbeing Framework.

• Describe how AI can be used to support empathy, student voice, and relationship-based practice within wellbeing promotion.
• Reflect on the ethical and psychological considerations of using AI in schools and further education centres, including inclusion, bias, and digital wellbeing.
• Identify strategies for using AI to create emotionally safe and student-centred wellbeing experiences.
• Explore how AI can contribute to sustainable, values-led wellbeing systems that align with the Wellbeing Framework.
