When Your Help is Perceived as Harm: Making Sense of Public Reaction to Public Health Action
Elizabeth Guroff, MA, LCMFT
National Council for Mental Wellbeing
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the cognitive and emotional wellbeing of many individuals and has created barriers for front line workers to receive proper mental health supports. This one-hour webinar provides participants with an opportunity to understand how the national climate around COVID-19 and health is causing moral injury: the betrayal by people or institutions that should have been trusted to do the right thing. We will explore how leadership is impacted by moral injury and what we can do to support ourselves and our staff during this tumultuous time.
Objectives:
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to identify components of moral safety and influence decisions that create morally safe environments.
By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to describe the four types of safety, and the psychological and physical impact of moral injury, and apply principles when selecting or designing programming.
