What it is
Moral injury is not itself a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Clinical work may focus on guilt, shame, grief, betrayal, responsibility, forgiveness, values, and meaning after morally significant experiences.
What it may address
This work may be relevant for veterans, first responders, healthcare professionals, and others exposed to situations involving perceived wrongdoing, betrayal, impossible choices, or profound loss.
What to expect
Treatment is individualized and may draw upon trauma therapies, values-based work, cognitive approaches, grief work, peer support, and careful exploration of meaning and responsibility.
How CCC uses it
CCC recognizes moral injury as an important clinical dimension that may coexist with PTSD, depression, substance use, grief, or other conditions.
