SUMMARY:Unseen Battles: Understanding Moral Injury
DESCRIPTION:Unseen Battles: Understanding Moral Injury\nNovember 20\, 2026\n9:00 – 12:30 pm via Zoom\n3.0 Category I CEUs \nPresenter:\nLeilani D. Mason\, LICSW-S\, PIP\nHealthy Minds Consulting \nWorkshop Description \nMoral injury is increasingly recognized as a distinct form of psychological suffering that extends beyond traditional fear-based models of trauma. Unlike PTSD\, which is primarily rooted in responses to life-threatening events\, moral injury develops when individuals experience\, witness\, or fail to prevent events that violate deeply held moral beliefs and values. The result can be profound guilt\, shame\, betrayal\, loss of trust\, spiritual distress\, and disruption of identity. \n\n\n \nParticipants will explore the concept of moral injury\, including how it differs from other trauma-related conditions\, how it presents across diverse populations\, and evidence-informed approaches for assessment\, treatment\, and moral repair. \nLearning Objectives \nAs a result of this training\, participants will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate moral injury from PTSD\, complex trauma\, and other trauma-related conditions by identifying at least three distinguishing clinical characteristics.\nRecognize at least five common cognitive\, emotional\, behavioral\, relational\, and spiritual manifestations of moral injury across diverse clinical populations.\nIdentify populations at increased risk for moral injury and describe how potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) contribute to psychological distress.\nApply evidence-informed assessment strategies to identify indicators of moral injury and distinguish them from fear-based trauma responses during clinical evaluation.\nDescribe at least three evidence-informed treatment approaches or interventions that promote moral repair\, meaning-making\, self-forgiveness\, and restoration of identity.\n\n\nRegister Now!\n\n \nLeilani Mason\, LICSW\, PIP is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker Supervisor\, Private Independent Practitioner\, EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant\, and the Owner and Director of Services for Healthy Minds Consulting\, a multidisciplinary behavioral health practice serving individuals across the lifespan in Alabama. She is also the Founder of the Faith and Science Institute\, an organization dedicated to exploring the integration of evidence-based mental health care with faith-informed perspectives through education\, training\, and professional development. \nWith more than 20 years of experience in behavioral health\, Leilani has dedicated her career to working with individuals impacted by trauma\, crisis\, providing trauma-focused services through the Wounded Warrior Project\, conducting forensic interviews\, and treating survivors of complex trauma in both community mental health and private practice settings. Her work has focused extensively on military personnel\, veterans\, first responders\, healthcare professionals\, and individuals experiencing posttraumatic stress\, grief\, and moral injury. \nLeilani is an approved clinical supervisor in Alabama and Florida and has trained and mentored clinicians in trauma-informed care\, EMDR\, and evidence-based treatment approaches. She is a sought-after presenter who is passionate about translating emerging research into practical clinical strategies that therapists can immediately implement in their work with clients. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Social Work (DSW) degree at the University of Alabama\, where her scholarly work centers on developing an evidence-informed clinical framework for the assessment and treatment of moral injury\, with a particular focus on first responders and healthcare professionals. Through her clinical practice\, teaching\, research\, and leadership\, Leilani is committed to advancing the understanding of moral injury and helping clinicians recognize and heal the invisible wounds that often extend beyond traditional models of trauma. \nWorkshop Fees\n\nGeneral Professional Community: $75.00\nJewish Day School Educators\, JCS Retirees\, NJHSA Members: $60.00\nCurrent JCS Staff\, Board\, Advisory Council & Staff of Agencies Funded by The Associated*: Free with Code.\n\n\nRegister Now!  \n*To request your code and see a list of eligible agencies funded by The Associated\, click here.  \nJewish Community Services is authorized by the Board of Social Work Examiners in Maryland to sponsor social work continuing education learning activities and maintains full responsibility for this program. \nThis training meets the requirements outlined in House Bill 783 Implicit Bias and Structural Racism Training Requirements. \nThis live\, real-time\, interactive workshop would also meet the Category I continuing education requirement for Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice earning 3.0 Category I CEUs. \nThe Rosa J.
