As digital care platforms, telehealth marketplaces, and technology-mediated systems increasingly shape mental health practice, clinicians are facing new and often subtle ethical pressures. This advanced ethics training invites participants to examine how platform policies, productivity metrics, algorithmic decision- making, and corporate care models influence clinical judgment, professional boundaries, and practitioner integrity.

Building on foundational concepts of ethical self-advocacy and systems awareness, this course explores the tension between clinical values and system demands in digital environments. Participants will engage in case- based discussion and reflective inquiry to identify ethical risks, boundary challenges, and areas of moral strain that arise when care is mediated through platforms. Emphasis is placed on preserving professional integrity, informed consent, confidentiality, competence, and client-centered decision making while navigating evolving digital landscapes.

This training supports clinicians in developing a grounded, values-based approach to ethical decision-making in
modern care systems, without placing the burden solely on individual resilience or self-sacrifice.

Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

• Describe common ethical challenges that arise in digital care platforms and technology-mediated clinical systems.
• Analyze how system-level pressures, including productivity expectations and platform policies, impact professional boundaries and ethical decision-making.
• Apply ethical frameworks and professional standards to case examples involving digital care environments.
• Identify strategies for maintaining professional integrity, ethical self-advocacy, and client-centered care within technology-driven systems.
