Moral Injury Presentation and Discussion

Join Clear Path for Veterans and Presenters Dr. Rebeccah Bernard, Licensed Clinical Psychologist and J. David Quilter, Captain, US Marines, Vietnam 1969-70 as they discuss the topic of Moral Injury. “Moral injury” refers to the lasting impact (emotional, psychological, social, behavioral, and spiritual) of actions that violate a person’s core moral values and behavioral expectations of self or others. For military servicepeople, moral injury can be caused by events such as: feeling you’ve let buddies or team members down, survivor’s guilt, causing harm to civilians, sexual trauma, having to follow unjust or unethical orders, or participating in a conflict one doesn’t believe in.

Hear experiences from fellow veterans and ask questions during the Q&A.

This event is open to all veterans, service members, and military-connected families. Please note, this lecture will be filmed for a documentary.
