Please join the William Joiner Institute and Moral Compass Federation at UMass Boston for this educational talk on Moral Injury among veterans, servicemembers, and the academic community.

Did you know - Unlike PTS, which stems from fear-based trauma, Moral Injury manifests as profound shame, guilt, and a fractured sense of purpose, often from feelings of betrayal from institutions and leaders. It attacks the very core of who our veterans believe themselves to be.

Join us for the first of four seminars on this important topic.
