Title : Numbing our moral injuries
Abstract:
Many caregivers struggle with deep moral injuries like compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, survivor guilt, and burnout. Unfortunately, some cope with these challenges through self-destructive habits including shutting down, lashing out, using substance, or even suicide. This session is designed to introduce the topic with the intention of shattering stigma, breaking silence, and offering hope. Caregivers are wounded healers. We will introduce a toolkit to help them heal their invisible wounds.
Audience Takeaway Notes:
- Audience will be educated on otherwise taboo topics like addiction and suicide
- Audience will realize the impacts of their invisible wounds on their families and beyond
- Audience will walk away with a toolkit of tangible items to help them heal
