Technology, Social Media, and Social Work Ethics: Risks and Considerations Workshop

Presented by: Vicki Verge, MSW, RSW

Date: May 5, 2026 - 12:00 Noon - 2:00 PM

This interactive workshop examines the ethical dimensions of technology use in social work practice. Through hands-on learning and small group discussions, participants will work through ethical dilemmas related to social media, digital communication, and online professional boundaries.

The session will provide participants with an introduction to the ethical issues that can arise when using social media platforms as professionals. The requirements for social workers to “distinguish between their actions and statements as private citizens and actions and statements made as social workers, recognizing that social workers are obligated to ensure that no outside interest bring the profession into disrepute (MCSW, Code of Ethics, 2015, Guideline 7, pg. 26)” will be reviewed.
