Moral Injury Australia
Optimising Mental Health and Wellbeing for People, Workplaces and Communities
WELCOME
Bushfires, floods and now COVID-19 have all resulted in our healthcare workforce, first responders and military personnel facing morally challenging situations on an unprecedented scale. These challenges can lead what we now call a moral injury.
Moral injury is the impacts we feel when we feel we should have done something and didn’t, or when somebody else does something that violates what we believe is right or wrong.
Any kind of moral trauma is a serious issue for you, your clients, and or your organisation. Left unaddressed, moral injury can have devastating impacts. In fact, moral injury has shown significant links to suicidal behaviour.
Now more than ever we need to learn and understand moral injury so we prevent it or treat it.
Moral Injury Australia is here to help. Founded by Dr Nikki Jamieson, a globally recognised expert on moral injury, Moral Injury Australia combines global expertise in moral injury with lived experience insight from veterans, first responders, and mental health professionals to deliver evidence-informed training, education, and support focused on prevention, early intervention, and recovery.
