Although artificial intelligence (AI) shows growing promise for mental health care, current approaches to evaluating AI tools in this domain remain fragmented and poorly aligned with clinical practice, social context, and first-hand user experience. This paper argues for a rethinking of responsib...

Limited access to mental healthcare, extended wait times, and increasing capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) has led individuals to turn to LLMs for fulfilling their mental health needs. However, examining the multi-turn mental health conversation capabilities of LLMs remains under-explo...

Hallucinations pose a critical challenge to the real-world deployment of large language models (LLMs) in high-stakes domains. In this paper, we present a framework for stress testing factual fidelity in LLMs in the presence of adversarial nudge. Our framework consists of three steps. First, we in...

Language model users often embed personal and social context in their questions. Theasker’s role—implicit in how the question is framed—creates specific needs for an appropriate response. However, most evaluations, while capturing the model’s capability to respond, often ignore who is asking. Thi...

Large Language Models (LLMs) can exhibit imbalanced biases against vulnerable groups, but how they rationalize stereotypes and rights restrictions targeting mental health entities remains underexplored. We audit a broad suite of open-weight LLMs on stereotype-justification prompts tied to mental...
