Session 3: Developing a Positive Life Philosophy to Soothe Moral Injury

Session three presents the insights of emerging adults regarding how moral injury may be soothed. Emerging adults, who at the time of the interview presented as being in a positive place in their lives, described a life philosophy that soothed their feelings of moral injury. This life philosophy included some mix of spiritual beliefs, hope, gratitude, forgiveness, and finding meaning in their morally injurious experiences. This orientation was supported through positive relationships with adults and contemporaries, meaningful intervention by mental health and social service providers, and participation in prosocial behaviors/activities. Session 3 includes a discussion of Intervention efforts child welfare workers may engage to meaningfully influence system reform and serve as allies to youth.
