Dr. Jeannelle Perkins Speaking Topics

  • AI in Mental Health

    Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing mental health care, offering innovative solutions to bridge gaps in access, early detection, and personalized treatment. From AI-powered chatbots providing 24/7 emotional support to machine learning models detecting early signs of anxiety and depression, technology is enhancing our ability to intervene before crises escalate. However, while AI offers tremendous potential, it must be implemented ethically, ensuring privacy, cultural sensitivity, and human oversight remain at the forefront. By embracing AI as a supportive tool rather than a replacement for human connection, we can create a future where mental health care is more accessible, efficient, and tailored to individual needs.

  • AI & Relationships: Technology Meets Human Connection

    Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the way we build and sustain relationships, offering insights and tools that can deepen our connections. From AI-driven communication coaching that helps individuals improve emotional intelligence to relationship apps that analyze conversation patterns and suggest healthier interactions, technology is becoming a powerful ally in fostering meaningful bonds. AI can also assist couples and families by identifying communication breakdowns, offering personalized conflict resolution strategies, and even predicting relational stressors before they escalate. However, while AI can enhance our understanding of each other, it should never replace authentic human connection. By using AI as a tool to support empathy, self-awareness, and emotional growth, we can create stronger, more fulfilling relationships in both our personal and professional lives.

  • AI & Resilience: Strengthening First Responders for the Frontlines

    First responders face intense, high-stress situations that demand quick thinking, emotional regulation, and mental resilience. AI is emerging as a powerful tool to support their well-being, offering real-time stress monitoring, predictive analytics for burnout prevention, and personalized resilience training. From AI-driven mental health apps that provide coping strategies after traumatic events to virtual reality simulations that enhance emotional preparedness, technology is equipping first responders with the tools they need to manage stress and recover more effectively. However, while AI can enhance resilience, it must be integrated thoughtfully—ensuring that human support, peer connections, and ethical considerations remain central. By leveraging AI as a proactive ally, we can help first responders sustain their mental strength, perform at their best, and continue to serve their communities with confidence.

  • Family Systems Theory with a BIPOC Lens

    Family Systems Theory, when viewed through a BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) lens, takes into account the unique cultural and historical contexts that influence the dynamics within BIPOC families. This perspective recognizes that families from different racial and ethnic backgrounds may have distinct experiences, challenges, and strengths that are shaped by their cultural heritage and the systemic inequalities they face.

  • Healing Through Cultural Humility Before Cultural Competence

    Cultural humility is a concept and approach that encourages individuals to approach interactions and relationships with others in a way that is open, respectful, and non-judgmental, particularly when dealing with people from different cultural backgrounds. It involves acknowledging one’s own cultural biases, limitations, and perspectives while seeking to understand and learn from the cultural perspectives of others.

  • Racism’s Impact on Black Intimacy

    Black couples experience higher divorce rates nationally, in the South, and across religious denominations than any other racial group. This talk explores the intricacies of how the system of racism impacts black couples’ mental and emotional health, challenging their ability to make genuine connections within the relationship. This talk also seeks to provide therapists with culturally appropriate narratives to assist them in overcoming these barriers.
