With the shifts in policy priorities and accompanying uncertainties in funding, we see a growing need to focus our attention on the increasing moral injury occurring for the workforce. While not a new issue in fields such as the military, moral injury has begun to be recognized as an emergent and urgent topic at the intersection of child welfare, behavioral health, ethics, and systems of care. Moral injury occurs when individuals are put in positions where they act, or find themselves unable to act, in ways that deeply violate their personal values, leaving lasting psychological and emotional impacts. We may confuse moral injury with experiences of trauma, secondary traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Moral injury is distinct in that it originates from our experiences of ethical conflict, betrayal, or moral transgression that occur in our workplaces, communities, and in our society at large.
Join CWLA for this powerful four-part training series in which we will explore the deep psychological and emotional impacts that arise when individuals — particularly those in frontline, supervisory, or leadership roles — witness, participate in, or are unable to prevent actions that conflict with their moral or ethical beliefs. The trainers will share what is known from the research, including in other fields, and use case examples to help participants gain a deeper understanding of moral injury, how it presents in our child welfare systems, and in our communities. Attendees will also receive practical tools and resources and learn what supervisors, leaders, and organizations can do to support recovery, foster ethical resilience, and create environments that are rooted in compassion and accountability. The training will also provide the opportunity for participants to examine and assess how it might be showing up for them and in their work.
