Technology has brought about an era of incredible possibilities for enhancing behavioral health treatment. With this technology expansion comes a new era of ethical dilemmas that we did not face merely a decade ago. Social media and the internet have opened up our views of the world, and the world's view of us. During the recent pandemic we have seen additional supports related to utilizing technology emerge, as well as new dilemmas to consider. This presentation will examine how technology is impacting our work and professional boundaries and how we can respond to the uncertain situations that result. We will also explore some of the unique situations and elements that can occur when practicing in rural and frontier areas.
