For OPDI's July webinar offering, Laura Stanford of Ottawa's Pinecrest Queensway ACT, will lead a discussion on Moral Distress, which involves a threat to one’s moral integrity and what causes it.
Moral distress exists throughout the healthcare system and is something that Peer Supporters are at risk of, but often unaware of, or do not have a name for it. Moral Distress happens when you know the ethically correct action to take, but you are constrained from taking it. During a crisis or disaster, the risk of moral distress increases. Understanding and coping with moral distress to align with our moral compass is essential to preserving our integrity. If it is not addressed, moral distress can lead to moral injury.
