Ask anyone in child welfare about foster youth aging out of the foster care system and you’re sure to hear about the prevalence of homelessness. The information below provides further insight onto the issue. #SWTech #SLWK791

@social_tyler @bradley_topper @StevaraClark This is a great point- my personal perspective is that like social work, these ethics will be ever changing.

@AkeiyaTucker @StevaraClark I completely agree with you. Check out this resource that highlights the significant impacts hate speech has on young people: https://t.co/JUWsG4tLkk

@StevaraClark Q5: Social media has helped me in my professional life by bringing social justice issues to my attention that I would otherwise may not be aware of, which has been supplemental in my direct practice with clients. #SLWK791

[Kayla Rolan @krolanmsw]

@StevaraClark Q4: Personhood, social media, and boundaries are very much intertwined issues. Ethical boundaries and standards for the digital age will become primary guidelines to allow for us as workers to be able to personally utilize technology, but within reason. #SLWK791

[Kayla Rolan @krolanmsw]

@bradley_topper @StevaraClark I agree with this- as I research this I find that many new ethical and technical standards that have come about in the social work world are more recent. Check out these NASW Ethic Standards for the Digital Age from just 2017 here: https://t.co/SZsR3lNitk #SLWK791

@StevaraClark A3: The future of social work with social media is the progression of advocacy campaigns as social media serves as a medium to share programs, messages, information, and advocacy efforts to address social justice issues. #SLWK791

[Kayla Rolan @krolanmsw]

@StevaraClark Given the current pandemic, online communication has become a major integral part of everyone's lives therefore the concept of online connection for support is not a far fetched concept. #SLWK791

[Kayla Rolan @krolanmsw]

@StevaraClark Q2: Using social media as an intervention tool for clients to use to develop a support network should be decided on a client to client basis. While a way to develop a support network, a comprehensive assessment should be utilized if this would be appropriate. #SLWK791

@StevaraClark be clearly defined in the user agreement. #SLWK791

@StevaraClark Twitter, as a private entity not related to the government, “can accept or reject speech as it sees fit." Therefore, they can establish company protocols for what they deem acceptable and what they don't, and that includes the government, however these protocols should (#SLWK791)

[Kayla Rolan @krolanmsw]

@StevaraClark A1. Yes, social media platforms are private companies, therefore they should and can censor what people post on their websites as they see fit. This is especially important given their role in public discourse. #SLWK791
