Social Media Ethics for Mental Health Professionals: Responding to Online Allegations of Abuse (2 CE Hours)

Ah, social media—a place where viral dances and life hacks coexist with public allegations of abuse. In this course, we tackle the thorny question: What should you do when online accusations intersect with your role as a clinician? Module 1 explores the rise of DV and IPV allegations online and their impact on survivors, victims, and yes, even you. You’ll unpack the risks of misinformation, manipulation, and victim-blaming while learning how to stay sane in the chaos. Module 2 takes the drama up a notch, with practical strategies for ethically navigating these murky waters and maintaining your boundaries when the internet—and maybe even your own emotions—pulls you in 10 directions at once. Packed with trauma-informed care principles and real-world examples, this NBCC-approved CE (2 hours) course equips you to handle these tricky situations with grace, humor, and professionalism. Because let’s face it: social media isn’t going away, and neither are your ethics.
