Frontline Worker Wellbeing - Moral Injury
Frontline Worker Wellbeing - Moral Injury
Moral injury is defined as the profound psychological and ethical harm that occurs when individuals are compelled to act against their deeply held moral beliefs or witness actions that conflict with their sense of right and wrong.
In this session from the Frontline Network Annual Conference 2026, our panel discussed the psychological perspective and academic history of moral injury, the systemic challenges that create moral injury for frontline workers, and how to persist in the face of these forms of psychological stress.
Speakers: Kate Standing, Networks & Partnership Manager, Justlife; Oliver Townsend, Chair, The Wallich; Rhea Tzallas, Trainee Clinical Psychologist, Royal Holloway, University of London / North London NHS Foundation Trust.
