This webinar will share findings from a recently released qualitative study on moral injury (MI) in Canadian public safety personnel (PSP).
In addition to exposure to potentially traumatic experiences, public safety personnel (PSP) may also experience potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) when they cannot uphold their values, prevent harm to themselves or others, or keep people safe. Left unaddressed, PMIEs may lead to MI, a type of psychological stress response marked by feelings of guilt, shame, anger and betrayal. This presentation will focus on findings related to the types of situations that PSP describe as PMIEs, how PSP make sense of these events, and the impacts of these events on PSP health and well-being.
Lived experience commentary from a PSP leader on the study results as well as a question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.
