Moral Injury & Moral Distress occur when individuals violate or witness violations of deeply held values and beliefs. While these phenomena have been long studied in military and health care workers, examining Moral Injury in the context of other roles, like social work, is a new and emerging inquiry. In this interactive, 90-minute workshop, Cassie Gillespie, LICSW will define, unpack, and explore Moral Injury & Moral Distress, and their unique presentation and impact across social work settings.
