Abstract

Social workers must navigate issues related to client privacy, boundary management, and maintaining professional integrity online. The potential risks of misinformation, cyberbullying, and burnout demand careful attention and responsible usage. Despite these challenges, social media's positive impact on social workers cannot be ignored. It has empowered them to stay informed about the latest developments, trends, and best practices in their profession. As social media continues to evolve, it is crucial for social workers to embrace these technological tools thoughtfully and responsibly, harnessing their potential for enhancing collaboration and advancing social work practice.
