Checkmate & Connect - Casablanca's Startup Community

Mental Health and Artificial Intelligence

Wednesday, 21 October 2026, from 18:00 to 21:00 at Commons Zerktouni, Casablanca.

We'll start the evening with Chess & Chill. Chess is the main activity, with icebreakers and other games happening in parallel.

At 19:00, Hafsa Baarabe, an Emotional Coaching Consultant and former manager, will explore AI's role in mental health and emotional support. The conversation will look at its benefits, its limitations, and the question of whether AI can replace human therapists.

Whether you work in a startup, care about well-being at work, or are simply curious about AI, you're welcome to join us. Bring your questions and perspectives for an open community discussion.
