On Demand Recording
On Tuesday, September 18, 2025, we hosted a 90-minute interactive webinar about social media and whether social workers should use it in their practice.
Many social workers wholeheartedly support having a social media presence to promote their services, offer resources, network with other professionals, and create a platform for advocacy.
Others believe that having a social media presence poses unnecessary risks to the social work profession.
Regardless of whether they choose to engage in social media, social work professionals must understand the ethical implications and associated risks to make decisions that best fit their business model and professional development goals.
