Summary
A Jack.org survey found that one in three young Canadians regularly use generative AI tools at least monthly to support their mental health. Among those users, nearly half have not told anyone, and three in five use the tools to deal with specific situations, often involving relationships. A CAMH scientist cautioned that chatbots should not replace human therapists and advised discussing their guidance with a trusted person or health professional.
