Description

Moral Injury in Behavioral Health Care: Ethics in the Big Picture | May 23 and 24, 2023; 8:30 AM to 11:45 AM | 6 Contact Hours | One 15-minute break a day

Clinicians receive ethical guidance in our work from professional ethics codes, employer or payer requirements, and the law. In the “big picture” of our society, however, struggles between right and wrong affect both our clients and ourselves all the time. It is much less clear how we can resolve these moral dilemmas, if they can be resolved at all. This workshop will present moral injury as a psychosocial phenomenon leading to mental health distress and other harmful effects. Participants will learn to work with moral injury in clients and in their own professional lives.
