Moral Injury - The War Inside

Moral Injury is an internal struggle. It’s the guilt that comes from doing something you believe is wrong, from breaking your own moral code. For some people, it’s all-consuming. They question their ability to do good, to go on. They turn to alcohol, drugs, self-harm. At Volunteers of America, we’re prioritizing Moral Injury research and care to make sure no one fights this battle alone.

Abiathar Carroll Discusses the Concept of Moral Injury

Moral injury, as I learned about it a few months ago has been interesting and exciting. And now I come to the conference where I've learned great things, and as I break them down when I get back, they will be successful. In not only just helping the Veteran population, and those who are incarcerated. But I also want to be able to utilize this for gains, and how they are associated with men of war.
