great podcast in a climate of changing communications, Thursday, February 07, 2019
By Margaret Simkins :
I very much appreciated Dr. Barsky outlining the risks and benefits of using online technologies in social work in regard to accessibility, confidentiality, safety, and security for clients and practitioners. Since this recording, the NASW has updated practice requirements of online work in the Code of Ethics, and Dr. Barsky’s analysis reflects many of the changes. I loved his suggestions of trying out tools with agency members (role-playing) before using with clients and talking to people who have used tools to see what works and what challenges them.
