In an era where the pervasive influence of digital technology shapes both personal and professional landscapes, mental health professionals are faced with distinctive challenges and possibilities.
Join Dr. Jonathan Singer, PhD, for this in-depth webinar that navigates the ethical considerations surrounding contemporary digital tools such as social media and generative AI. Get equipped to navigate the nuanced dilemmas presented by today’s digital technology frontier.
Our exploration begins with the ethical use of social media in mental health practice, covering key aspects such as:

To cap off our session, we will apply Barsky’s Relational Ethical Model to scrutinize real-life cases involving the intersection of social media and AI in mental health practice. These cases will be dissected through the ethical standards set by the APA, AAMFT, ACA, and NASW, providing you with practical insights for ethical decision-making in your professional journey.
