Lori is a professional counselor who considers social media to be a great way to stay in touch with friends and family. She uses her Facebook page to stay in touch with many people whom she grew up with as well as her friends from college. Lori also uses her Facebook page to advertise and promote her counseling practice. She knows it would be unethical to post any information about specific clients but routinely posts pictures of the outside of her office. She also posts information about new counseling groups she is starting and has a habit of changing her status each morning to a new inspirational message.Lori has even started receiving friend requests from a few of her clients, and she accepts the requests as long as her clients do not have a history of criminal or aggressive behaviors. Lori knows she never posts any inappropriate messages or pictures and believes Facebook is a good way to give her clients access to her when they are not in session. Lori feels as though she has nothing to hide and hopes the inspirational quotes and information about her practice will be helpful to her clients.

What ways can Lori let her clients know the boundaries she wants to set about requesting her personal Facebook page? I am asking this question to see what ways a boundary can be placed effectively without sounding harsh or damaging a budding relationship between a counselor and their client.

Paragraph #1 - What do you think is the primary ethical dilemma in this case study? What is the potential problem? Who could be most harmed if the situation is not addressed? Why would that person/s be harmed?Lori, while passionate about her profession should not mix social media with her profession. An ethical approach to this would be to consult the HR department about how to advertise the new groups or implemented programming without exposing any element of her personal life to her clientele. As well, this would eliminate the possibility of client information being shared unintentionally by community members or other individuals sharing treatment at her organization. This also poses a risk for client information to be shared that is privacy protected Though it doesn’t seem possible - eliminating the possibility for exposure of private information regarding client or clinician seems to be a more ethical approach.Being friends with clients is also questionable. While her criteria for allowing those connections is based on criminal history and aggressive behavior - it should be noted that perhaps clients should not have access to the clinician’s social media regardless of how controlled it may seem to be.Paragraph #2 - Select one sub-principle from this week's reading in NAADAC Code of Ethics that addresses the primary ethical dilemma. Summarize the sub-principle. Tell how the sub-principle applies to this case study.The sub-principle from this week’s reading in the NAADAC Code of Ethics that addresses the primary ethical dilemma here would be VI-19 Friends (Social
