In the last two decades, social media changed the way humans communicate with each other. This workshop seeks to explore how our community is developing ethical practices within social media to ensure the wellbeing of our clients and maintain adaptive relevance of our field within the digital space. Recently, members brought increased ethical awareness of social media use to the ADTA Standards and Ethics Committee. After close analysis of the Code of Ethics, the committee will share recommendations regarding best practices of social media use, highlighting personal versus professional use, advertising, and advocacy.
