Your employees are already using AI for mental health support, often before anyone has checked whether those tools are safe. Mental health vendors are adding AI features to their platforms at a rapid pace, which leaves benefits leaders making high-stakes decisions without a shared definition of what "safe" actually means.

You don’t need to be an AI engineer to make a responsible call, but you do need to know what questions and evidence to ask for. In this 60-minute session, leaders from Sequoia and Spring Health give employers and consultants a practical safety lens: where AI can genuinely improve access to care, where it introduces new clinical and privacy risk, and what safeguards should be non-negotiable before any tool reaches your workforce. We’ll walk through VERA-MH, an open-source, clinically validated benchmark to evaluate the safety of mental health AI, and share the specific questions to bring into your next RFP or renewal.

You’ll leave with a clear framework for evaluating mental health AI and a short list of questions that hold vendors accountable.
