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.
Moral Injury Australia is here to help. Created with and by people with lived experience, our training and support offers an early intervention and prevention response for when and where you need it most.
