The Cool DownFarmer gave a Texas city 87 acres so kids would have 'somewhere to play' — now it is slated for a $10 million data centerBlueprint bought 87.97 acres in Taylor, Texas, for $10 million in 2025, but a 1999 deed requires the land to be used as parkland. Residents oppose a proposed 135,000-square-foot data center, citing environmental and property-value concerns, and are appealing to the Third Court of Appeals.WcbeTherapists are using AI to take notes. Is it a useful tool or a breach of trust?Therapists across the United States are increasingly adopting AI tools that record sessions, transcribe conversations, and generate clinical notes automatically, with companies like Berries, SimplePractice, and Blueprint offering these services for $19 to $99 per month. A patient in Arkansas discovered her therapist was using such a tool during their session without what she considered meaningful informed consent, leaving her feeling violated and prompting her to terminate the therapeutic relationship and seek a new provider. Research indicates that only 11% of Americans would be open to using AI for mental health care and 8% say they trust it, while 77% are concerned about how their health information would be stored and used by AI systems.NPRMental health therapists who use AI to take notes face questions about trust : NPRA growing number of therapists across the United States are adopting AI tools to record sessions and automatically generate clinical notes, with companies including Berries, Blueprint, and SimplePractice offering such services that they say are HIPAA-compliant and reduce administrative burden. A patient in Fayetteville, Arkansas discovered her session was recorded without her explicit consent and felt violated, leading her to leave that therapist and seek one who would not use AI; bioethics researchers warn that consent forms alone do not ensure informed choices and that AI-generated errors could become part of permanent medical records. While some therapists report that AI note-taking reduces burnout and gives them more time with patients, critics argue that the technology fundamentally alters the therapeutic experience and can subtly discourage patient disclosure.ThebignewsletterYes, Therapy Sessions Are Being Used to Train AICorporate platforms and venture-backed AI companies are increasingly recording therapy sessions and deploying AI tools to assist or replace therapists, with firms like Blueprint taping over 12 million minutes of sessions and using the data to build AI products. The integration of AI into mental health care is being driven by financial incentives, as most practice management companies are owned or heavily invested in by health insurers who profit from restricting access to care while promising efficiency gains and increased access.The Charlotte ObserverFinding the Best LSAT Tutors: Guide to One-on-One PrepThe article provides a detailed review of the top LSAT tutoring services, including Blueprint, Kaplan, Magoosh, 7Sage, Princeton Review, and Varsity Tutors. It discusses their features, strengths, weaknesses, and ideal user profiles, emphasizing personalized coaching, structured programs, affordability, and flexibility.SupanoteBest AI Tools for Mental Health Professionals (2026)This article reviews seven AI documentation tools designed for mental health professionals, including Supanote, Mentalyc, Upheal, Blueprint, Quill Therapy Notes, Freed.ai, and Yung Sidekick, evaluating their features, pricing, and suitability for therapy practices. The guide covers essential features such as HIPAA compliance, EHR integration capabilities, and mental health-specific templates, with pricing ranging from free tiers to $99/month for unlimited notes. The article serves as a buying guide to help mental health professionals choose appropriate AI documentation software based on their practice size, EHR systems, and documentation needs.MentalycBlueprint Review for Therapists (2026): Features, Pricing, Pros & ConsThis article is a comprehensive 2026 product review of Blueprint, an AI-powered outcomes and documentation platform for mental health clinicians, covering its features including automated therapy notes, session transcription, and PROM-based progress tracking (PHQ-9, GAD-7). The review notes key trade-offs: per-session pricing starting around $0.49 that scales with caseload volume, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II compliance, and limitations including EHR integration gaps and transcription accuracy issues that require clinician editing. The article also compares Blueprint against alternatives like Mentalyc, Upheal, and Supanote/AutoNotes, positioning it as best suited for solo clinicians and small practices prioritizing measurement-based care without adopting a full EHR.PrwebBlueprint Powers AI Infrastructure Behind Rula Recap, Cutting Documentation Time by 60%+ Across National Provider NetworkBlueprint announced its AI documentation engine now powers Rula Recap, an AI-driven scribe deployed across Rula's nationwide network of over 21,000 mental health clinicians. Early results show clinicians using Rula Recap reduced documentation time by an average of 63% while maintaining clinical quality and provider oversight. This deployment represents one of the largest implementations of an AI documentation assistant within a major mental health platform, demonstrating AI can materially reduce administrative burden without compromising safety or clinical autonomy.PrwebIntroducing Practice Your Path: A Game-Changing Program for Middle and High School Students to Build Emotional Strength and CommunityMove This World, an evidence-based mental health platform serving PreK–12 students, announced the launch of 'Practice Your Path,' a new program designed to engage middle and high school students in emotional growth and community-building. The announcement follows a joint webinar featuring Blueprint (co-founded by Serinda Swan) and Scholarship Prep Public Schools (represented by Kristen Crowe), which unveiled the partnership aimed at addressing mounting emotional and social challenges that traditional programs struggle to address in secondary students.BlueprintAI for Therapists: Beyond Notes to Enhanced CareThis article surveys emerging AI applications for mental health therapists beyond administrative documentation, covering clinical decision support systems, AI-integrated electronic health records, real-time emotional analysis, and AR/VR exposure therapy. It highlights specific platforms like Aifred Health, Lyssn, and Blueprint as examples of tools being developed to help clinicians with treatment recommendations, session analysis, and professional supervision. The article also cites workforce projections indicating the U.S. will face a shortfall of over 350,000 mental health professionals by 2030, framing AI as a capacity-extending solution rather than a replacement for clinicians.
