The Moral Injury Project

The Moral Injury Project explores the emotional and psychological impact experienced by individuals—such as military personnel, healthcare workers, or others—who face situations that challenge their core moral beliefs. It occurs when they feel they've violated their own standards or been betrayed, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and loss of trust. The project aims to understand these experiences to better support healing and resilience, recognizing that moral injury goes beyond traditional notions of mental health and requires compassionate, targeted approaches to recovery.
