Why technology can change this work

  • digital assistants handle mood journals and standard psychoeducational exercises
  • booking, communication and routine advice move to digital services
  • robots gradually learn standardized operations
  • AI helps diagnose problems and select solutions

What protects the occupation

  • recognition of self-harm, violence and other crisis risks
  • hands-on work in unpredictable environments
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • the physical environment is too variable for near-term full robotics automation
  • personal trust and individual adaptation
  • on-site accountability for outcomes
