From Therapy Room to Social Feed: Ethical and Effective Psychoeducation for Social Workers

Zoom | 3 Ethics CEs | September 28, 2026

In this three-hour training, we’ll explore how psychotherapists can thoughtfully step into the world of social media, using it for psychoeducational content rather than therapy. We’ll break down the ethical boundaries that separate clinical work from public education, ensuring that you remain within your professional scope. We’ll also discuss how to handle inevitable criticisms—from the public or fellow therapists—and how to maintain professional resilience amidst it.

We’ll cover the benefits and limitations of using social platforms, from enhancing public awareness of mental health topics to understanding the limits of what should be shared. By the end, you’ll have practical strategies to create meaningful content while safeguarding both your clients and your professional integrity. Not only can social platforms inform the public, but they also act as marketing tools, helping to attract clients who resonate with your approach. We’ll address the reality that some potential clients may not wish to engage with a therapist who maintains a social presence, and we’ll discuss how this natural selection process can lead to a better therapeutic fit.
