In today's digitally connected world, social media plays a significant role in shaping our personal and professional lives. This episode explores the complex psychological and ethical implications of social media use, particularly relevant for psychology professionals. We examine the mental health impacts of social media—including anxiety, depression, addiction, and cyberbullying—while also addressing the ethical responsibilities tied to digital engagement. The course will provide practical strategies to support clients, employees, and professionals in managing social media use responsibly. It will also review key ethical guidelines from the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to ensure sound, informed practice in the digital age.
