Healthcare workers, first responders, active duty military, Veterans, and law enforcement personnel are at risk for moral injury given their morally critical occupations. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to exert moral stress on front-line workers. A lack of resources, clear policies, adequate training, and support restrict a staff person’s ability to provide quality care, imperiling their ethical standards and charting a course to burn-out. You can support and prevent moral injury in your institution through:

• Webinar staff training
• Consulting services for prevention
• Research opportunities
• Seminars on Moral Injury in the Workplace (identify, recover, prevent)
