SUMMARY:Moral injury webinar | Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Fortem Australia invites first responders\, clinicians\, and support staff to attend an online webinar on Moral Injury. \nClick HERE to register. \nMoral injury refers to the psychological distress that arises from experiences that challenge or violate deeply held moral values\, such as exposure to human suffering\, perceived failures to act\, or experiences of betrayal within systems or leadership. While often overlapping with trauma responses\, moral injury is distinct in its association with guilt\, shame\, anger\, and loss of trust. \nThis webinar will explore what moral injury is\, how it presents in first responder populations\, and how it differs from PTSD and other trauma-related conditions. Participants will gain insight into the emotional\, cognitive\, and behavioural impacts of moral injury\, as well as practical strategies to support individuals experiencing moral distress. \nContent will include: \n\nDefinitions and models of moral injury\nCommon causes in operational and organisational contexts\nSigns and symptoms (including differences from PTSD)\nThe role of meaning-making\, values\, and moral emotions\nPractical approaches to support\, including communication strategies and the RAIN framework\n\nThis session is relevant for both clinicians and first responders\, with a focus on practical\, trauma-informed responses that can be applied in real-world settings. \nParticipants are encouraged to engage at their own pace\, as the material may prompt reflection on challenging experiences. \nPlease register your interest in attending this activity by clicking on the Registration Form button below. \nThe session is delivered by Marnie Donovan\, Fortem’s Lead Clinician.  \nClick HERE to register.
