COURSE DESCRIPTION
As digital technologies transform the way we communicate and connect, prevention professionals face unique ethical challenges in navigating social media, online research, and digital client interactions. While these platforms offer innovative ways to engage with clients, they also demand a mindful approach to uphold ethical integrity. This workshop addresses the nuances of cyber ethics, drawing from both the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics and the Public Health Code of Ethics. Participants will explore practical strategies for protecting client privacy, reinforcing professional boundaries, and promoting ethical standards in their digital interactions, helping them navigate these spaces with professionalism and care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Define the ethical responsibilities associated with social media use as outlined in the NASW and Public Health Code of Ethics, and explain how to maintain clear professional boundaries online.
- Identify potential ethical risks involved in researching client information online and evaluate strategies to protect client privacy, grounded in the principles of both ethical codes.
- Develop personal guidelines for ethical digital communication and demonstrate methods to prevent inappropriate online behaviors, such as trolling or oversharing, while fostering a responsible online presence.
