The Digital Tightrope: Guiding Ethical Case Consultation for Future Clinicians
As educators and supervisors, we pour our energy into shaping the ethical compass and clinical acumen of the next generation. We stress confidentiality, the power of nuanced understanding, and the critical importance of thoughtful consultation. The digital landscape, however, presents a growing concern: the open staffing of sensitive cases on social media. While the desire for peer support is understandable, these often unvetted spaces can inadvertently expose client information, invite unqualified opinions, and potentially undermine the very ethical principles we champion.
We believe there's a more secure and professionally aligned path forward.
Cultivated Consultation offers a private platform for verified professionals built specifically for the ethical considerations of our field. Imagine a space where supervisees can engage in interdisciplinary case consultation within protected environments, connect with diverse perspectives through demographic-based searches in dedicated safe spaces, and foster learning within a framework of professional accountability. This isn't replacing vital supervision – it's providing an ethically sound digital avenue for growth and collaboration.

Let's empower our future clinicians with the right tools for ethical and effective collaboration in the digital age.
