Let’s look at a few scenarios illustrative of the concerns a mental

health or social services organization may have in using

Facebook…

How would your team manage a user post about suicide posted on

your Page?

Scenario #1 – Threat to Harm Self

© 2012, Miranda Miller

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

• Staff or volunteers managing social presence need same training as those interacting with patients/clients/public over the phone or in person.

• Established policies and procedures are key, as in other communication channels.

• Be aware that people may use your channel for purposes other than those intended.

#1 – Preparedness is Key

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

Educate Users

Use your About, Cover Photo, and even an App to inform users of help resources and when/how

the page is monitored.

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

How would your team manage a user posting a complaint that is

better settled privately?

#2 – Unfounded/Private Complaint

© 2012, Miranda Miller

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

• What does your Social Media Policy and corresponding Procedure advise?

• Disengage the user publicly, engage privately, diffuse the situation, and inform them you are deleting the public post.

• Post a standard message to your Page informing followers that a post was removed, state why, reinforce proper use of Page.

#2 – Go by the Book

© 2012, Miranda Miller

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

Educate Users

Show your responsiveness, set

realistic expectations,

enforce policies, encourage positive

interaction.

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

How would your team manage a user posting spam on your Page or harassing, attacking, or otherwise

acting inappropriately?

#3 – Spam or Persistent Unwanted Contact

© 2012, Miranda Miller

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

• Do you know the person as a patient or client and is a face-to-face conversation an option?

• How inappropriate are the posts or messages? Do they warrant blocking the user? At what point should a Page manager escalate to management or authorities?

• Policies and Procedures should dictate which types of content are removed, when, and by whom.

#3 – Use Your Judgment

© 2012, Miranda Miller

Using Facebook in Health & Social Services Promotion

Educate Users

Get the interaction out of the public eye,

using Messaging if contacted first, or

consider blocking the user to prevent

further damage to your brand.
