Addressing Collective Trauma and Moral Injury Within the Clinical and the Community with Jack Saul

Led by Jack Saul, PhD

This is a 2 hour On Demand Webinar. Access information, resources and CEU information will be available shortly after registration and registrants will be given unlimited access to the recording for a full year.

This webinar was broadcasted live on October 20, 2022 as part of the Collective Trauma Conference

Collective Trauma and the shared injuries to a population’s social life can damage bonds that attach people. They can also impair people’s sense of belonging and communality.

Social disruptions can be a result of war, disaster, or communal or structural violence. And these experiences can affect people’s sense of being moral beings and of living as members of a moral community. This is what is referred to as “moral injury”.

These challenges of conscience, guilt, witnessing, and betrayal may lie at the root of addressing trauma and restoring one’s sense of humanity.

This workshop will demonstrate useful, clinical and community-engaged approaches to collective trauma based on a resilience framework. Audio installation, expressive art exercises, and case studies will be used to illustrate how this approach applies to families of various classes and cultures.

At the end of this presentation, participants will be better able to —

• Expand the understanding of trauma as an individual and collective experience, requiring both individual and collective responses, including the strengthening of collective resilience
• Attain concepts and research on moral injury in individuals and explore how moral injury can be a collective experience requiring collective social action
• Examine methods of working with collective trauma and moral injury in clinical and communal contexts

This training offers 2 hours of direct contact (not counting breaks or lunch). It is the participant’s responsibility to check with their individual state boards/regulatory body to verify CE requirements for their license to practice.
