Social Media, Internet Presence, & Privacy

The International Childbirth Education Association (ICEA) believes the internet and social media are valuable and important communication and marketing tools. When used wisely, social media expands communication and connectivity. When used improperly or unwisely, it can lead to confidentiality infringements and privacy violations which could result in loss of employment or even criminal penalties. Birth professionals should review the proper use of social media and internet presence while making wise and ethical decisions on information to share.
