In my #NASW2025 poll, the most-used word when social workers think about social media was... 👉 “Bias.” Also high on the list: Privacy. Risk. Advocacy. Cyberbully. Social workers are not ambivalent. We’re careful. What would help you feel more confident showing up online as a social worker?

At #NASW2025, social workers said they rarely use social media professionally (1.9/10)… but rated their frustration with influencers misusing “trauma” & “narcissist” a 7.2/10. We’re watching. We’re cringing. Maybe it’s time we started posting. @naswsocialworkers.bsky.social #EthicalInfluencing

USC's Eric Rice tells the story about how he started the USC Center for AI in Society in 2016 as a partnership between social work and engineering. Why? He didn't want tech bros telling social service workers what to do. @naswsocialworkers.bsky.social #SWTech cais.usc.edu #NASW2025
