3 Ethic CEUs Available
In a world more digitally connected than ever, our clients are lonelier, more isolated, and more overwhelmed by online connection than ever before. As therapists and mental health providers, how do we ethically respond to this growing crisis of disconnection?
Join us for a 3-hour CEU seminar exploring the ethical responsibilities clinicians face when navigating loneliness, isolation, and the illusions of connection in the digital age.
We'll explore the clinical risks of loneliness, the influence of social media on identity and self-worth, and the ethical considerations providers must weigh when offering support in both real and virtual spaces. Through thoughtful discussion, case examples, and reflection, participants will leave better equipped to ethically hold space for clients seeking meaningful connection in a disconnected world.
