Cyber Ethics for Prevention Professionals: Navigating Social Media, Privacy, and Digital Boundaries

This first session in the two-part Cyber Ethics for Prevention Professionals series introduces the ethical landscape prevention professionals face in the digital world. Participants will explore foundational ethical principles from the Public Health Code of Ethics and the NASW Code of Ethics, applying them to online interactions, social media engagement, and digital research. The session focuses on identifying clear professional boundaries in virtual spaces, understanding the risks of online engagement with youth, and aligning prevention work with both ethical standards and youth development best practices. Through case studies and discussion, participants will begin developing strategies to engage online while safeguarding trust and professional integrity.

This second session in the two-part Cyber Ethics for Prevention Professionals series builds on the foundations established in Part 1, moving into deeper analysis of real-world scenarios involving online privacy, information gathering, and ethical decision-making.
