Moral Injury: Addressing the Elephant in the Room

Join the Child Welfare League of America (CWLA) for this powerful webinar in which we will explore the deep psychological and emotional impacts that arise when individuals — particularly those in frontline, supervisory, or leadership roles — witness, participate in, or are unable to prevent actions that conflict with their moral or ethical beliefs. Speakers will share what is known from the research, including in other fields, and use case examples to help participants gain a deeper understanding of moral injury, how it presents in our child welfare systems, and in our communities. Speakers will also share practical tools and resources and talk about what supervisors, leaders, and organizations can do to support recovery, foster ethical resilience, and create environments that are rooted in compassion and accountability. Ample time for discussion and questions will be provided.

Speakers:

• Julie Collins, CWLA VP of Practice Excellence
• Melinda Baldwin, CWLA Mental Health Advisory Board
