Increasingly, for many people, the human condition puts us face-to-face with circumstances that challenge our sense of "what's right" and leave us with behavioral choices that don't always sync with our personal values and ethics.
Join SCG, LA County Director of Mental Health Dr. Jon Sherin and other special guests to discuss the complexities of Moral Injury. First coined to describe the impact of war upon service members required to engage in behaviors that betrayed their values, moral injury can be an instructive framework for the public as we work to reintegrate people traumatized by a range of circumstances as healthy and productive citizens.
This discussion will feature leading thinkers on the complex moral injury landscape and will address the important role philanthropy can play in understanding and addressing trauma across a spectrum of experiences and populations.
