This guideline overlaps with NASW Code of Ethics Section 1.07 (a) Respect for privacy;- Social workers must be vigilant about informing clients about the risks and benefits of technology such as telehealth platforms (c) Limits of Confidentiality- follow the HIPAA requirements; and (g) Dual relationships- social workers should maintain clear and appropriate professional boundaries and avoid dual relationships. An example of this would be to be careful about having certain social media accounts being public and not "friending" or accepting friend requests from a client. Further more, it imperative for a social worker to a) receive continuous tech training and stay up to date in this rapidly advancing environment, especially in the area of AI. It is also important to stay apprised of your organization's social media policies and any guideline updates by NASW. Can you think of any other sections of the Code of Ethics affected? Any other suggestions on how to uphold these values and standards?

Reading this section makes me think about the importance of reflecting on my own biases as well as the structual inequalities embedded within our society. An in-depth analysis of this section can enrich our Practicum experience in several ways by practicing the following: * Developing Self-Awareness * Understanding the power dynamics- the power imbalance in our society that leads to marginalization adn disadvantage for certain groups * Challenge discrimination and adopt anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practices * Advocate for inclusive and equitable policies

**RE: Practicum- situation that was discussed in training: ** I am working with chaplains at the Spiritual Care Center at a hospital. It often involves acute trauma situations where I would be the only chaplain on duty. They gave an example of a situation where I am being called on to assist a patient who has been in a bad car accident and is suffering a serious injury, but is coherent enough to communicate. The patient happens to belong to my church. There is no one else on duty who can assist. I would use this code (in addition to code 1.07(a) which was already highlighted by another student) to inform the patient that I will keep their information confidential and not mention anything to the church. However, should the patient request support from their congregation (perhaps they'd like a visit from their minister or other members, or have member provide volunteer services such as meals when they return home...), the patient may provide their consent for me to let the congregation know. I would make sure I had written consent prior to informing fellow church members or anyone else. This Code of Ethics section ensures and respects the client's right to privacy and gives them self-determination in who they would like to inform about their injury.
