This workshop will utilize the NASW Code of Ethics as a guide and a reference tool and provide participants an opportunity to explore practice implications while determining individual professional responsibility. Participants will engage in small group discussions regarding specific case examples from their everyday practice or those provided. The will have the opportunity to process these cases in small groups seeking potential resolution to the stated dilemmas utilizing a conceptual framework. Participants will act as peer consultants during this process and discussion will focus on identifying potential vulnerable areas of practice, developing risk management strategies and identifying areas for further exploration. Social workers/agencies also need to wrap their brains around the way the digital age has created new sets of ethical questions related to using social media in professional settings. Participants will identify guideposts related to ethical social media use and also have an opportunity to work in small groups to brainstorm social media risk management protocols and identify/develop recommendations for agency policies related to social media use.
