[Self-Study] Art Therapy Ethics: Social Media & Ethics for Art Therapists

Part two of our three-part 2023 Ethics Series.

The world of social media is presenting art therapists with new opportunities and challenges that can be tricky to navigate. This training will explore the ethical issues surrounding the topic of social media for art therapists. It will include a discussion about privacy concerns for clients and therapists, potential boundary issues, and strategies to approach these topics in clinical practice. We will also discuss concerns about how social media may impact our work with clients, their perception of art therapy, and what we can do to help.
