Abstract
This paper explores how mental-health crisis counselors can improve their conversational skills and introduces a method for predicting their future improvement based on early adaptations in handling challenging conversational moments.
Reality Card
The study demonstrates that identifying and analyzing how counselors adapt to challenging conversational moments can predict their long-term improvement in steering conversations toward positive outcomes.
The counselor-adaptation approach yields better results than baseline methods that rely solely on conversation transcripts.
The prediction task is challenging and may require extensive longitudinal data for accurate results.
