As school counselors, we see on a daily basis how problematic social media can be, but in the technology age that we live in, you may be missing out on an opportunity to enhance your program by using social media with your students and families. Whether you make a website, use twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, you can communicate vital information to students and stakeholders. ASCA has an excellent webinar titled "The Do’s and Don’ts of Social Media in Your School Counseling Program". This is an excellent resource that will examine the pros and cons of social media use within your school counseling program. It will also provide social media etiquette and protocols to ensure that you are adhering to the professional and ethical standards in our profession.
