About the Topic
Although it is common for healthcare workers to experience difficult situations at work, at times experiences that evoke challenges to one’s morals and values may cause significant distress. Morally distressing experiences contradict personal or shared values or expectations. Feelings resulting from such experiences can include guilt, shame, intrusive thoughts, anger, reduced readiness and, if the person experiences a sense of betrayal, reduced confidence in leaders or the organization. At times, such distress can lead to lasting cognitive, behavioral, relational, or spiritual changes termed moral injury. This webinar will share strategies that mental health and other healthcare providers can use to reduce the potential for lasting distress resulting from morally difficult situations for themselves and in their roles as colleagues and leaders.
