Program Overview:

In today’s digital world, prevention professionals working with youth must navigate complex ethical terrain as they engage with young people online, promote prevention messages on social media, and research youth culture through digital platforms. This workshop explores the ethical responsibilities unique to prevention professionals, with a focus on maintaining professional boundaries, protecting youth privacy, and ensuring that digital outreach efforts align with ethical standards and youth development best practices.

Drawing from the Public Health Code of Ethics, the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics, and youth-focused prevention frameworks, participants will explore real-world scenarios and develop practical strategies to engage youth online ethically and effectively, while building trust and fostering healthy digital interactions that support prevention goals.

This training will be held in partnershp with the Danya Institute, Inc, Central East Prevention Technology Transfer Center, Presidential Consultants, and Howard University School of Social Work.

Learning Objectives:

• Define the ethical responsibilities associated with social media use as outlined in the NASW and Public Health Code of Ethics and explain how to maintain clear professional boundaries online.
• Identify potential ethical risks involved in researching client information online, and evaluate strategies to protect client privacy, grounded in the principles of both ethical codes.
• Develop personal guidelines for ethical digital communication and demonstrate methods to prevent inappropriate online behaviors, such as trolling or oversharing, while fostering a responsible online presence
