NC Soul Repair Journey: Recovering from Moral Injury After War

A two-day conference featuring author Dr. Rita Nakashisma Brock, that will give information and tools to help veterans suffering from moral injury.

Moral injury results from having to make moral choices under extreme conditions. It is found in feelings of survivor guilt, grief, shame, remorse, anger, despair, mistrust, and betrayal by authorities. This conference is for faith communities, mental and behavioral health professionals, concerned citizens, and agencies the work with veterans.

The fee covers all events for both days and includes three meals; limited scholarship assistance is available for veterans and students. The cost for attending one day is $75. Register through Quaker House by February 28. Individuals can reserve a room for themselves at the Hilton under “Soul Repair” by calling 800-445-8667.
