Module 1 - Understanding Moral Injury: 

When thinking about the survival, rehabilitation and recovery of wounded warriors, what easily comes to mind involves post-traumatic stress, substance use, depression and anxiety, social anxiety, traumatic brain injury. Moral Injury appears to be another factor significantly impacting those returning from combat. Simply defined, Moral Injury involves a disruption in an individual’s confidence and expectations about one’s own or others’ motivation or capacity to behave in a just and ethical manner. Moral Injury is the damage occurring to one’s conscience, or moral compass resultant to perpetrating, witnessing, or failing to prevent acts that transgress one’s own moral and ethical values/codes of conduct/understand.

Module 2 - Expanding Moral Injury: 

Moral Injury is the damage occurring to one’s conscience, or moral compass resultant to perpetrating, witnessing, or failing to prevent acts that transgress one’s own moral and ethical values/codes of conduct/understanding. While originally defined in terms of combat veterans, active service settings, moral injury has also been identified in a number of other populations, including victims of human trafficking, homeless consumers, refugees, individuals with substance use disorders, border guards, criminal justice professionals, child welfare workers, teachers and physicians.

Module 3 - Healing Moral Injury: 

Given the expansion of Moral Injury beyond veterans to other populations, including but not limited to victims of human trafficking, homeless individuals, refugees, border guards, first responders, child welfare workers, health care professionals, teachers, criminal justice professionals, victims of domestic violence, and individuals with substance use disorders,  understanding how to effectively treat the listed life circumstances is vital. While many individuals experiencing trauma and similar circumstances have been provided methods for healing PTSD, those with Moral Injury require a different approach, one that blends counseling with theology.
