Dwayne is a 26-year-old VR counselor who has been employed by the state agency and has worked with a diverse group of clients. Chrissy, who is 42 years old, has always seemed hesitant about meeting with the Dwayne. Chrissy's attitude has been she does not think that VR counselors can do much to help her, and she thinks that she can do it herself. Because of his age she does not believe in Dwayne's abilities to help her or any other client. Chrissy recently became single and is a mother of two teenagers, a boy 14 and girl 16. She was employed as a grocery store checkout clerk but developed carpal tunnel syndrome and is unable to return-to-this work setting. She has completed a Teacher’s Aid course in anticipation of working at a nearby high school assisting emotionally disturbed youth in Special Education. During the Teacher’s Aid course Chrissy bonded with the instructor, Jack, in his mid-fifties, who really helped her learn the new technology and social networks. Jack expressed that if Chrissy wanted to really help the emotionally disturbed youth that she should connect with them and really understand their world. However, now she has told Dwayne that her teenagers are concerned about their mother having Twitter and Facebook accounts that are open to the public. Particularly because she has posted sensual pictures and has been communicating with “strange or unfamiliar” friends. Chrissy cannot see why her teenagers have a problem with her profiles when they have profiles of their own! The internet seems to be an outlet and resource for external satisfaction because Chrissy is getting attention and finding new friends. Dwayne, the VR counselor, understands the importance of using technology, but he wonders if he should address these posts and friends that has her family concerned. Please address the ethical dilemma(s) and potential options for Dwayne in his continued work with this client ?
