#Caring4NHSPeople

We welcome our guest speaker @em_healthpsych to talk about looking after your team in challenging times

#Caring4NHSPeople #ProjectM

.@em_healthpsych is talking about moral injury.

The connectedness of our world - news, social media - means you don't have to have witnessed an event to experience moral injury

#Caring4NHSPeople #ProjectM

It's 'moral' injury because everyone has a moral code - when we are put in to a situation where things don't fit with those beliefs, there's an 'injury' and we have to work to make peace with that @em_healthpsych

#Caring4NHSPeople #ProjectM

"To be affected by traumatic events is usual and human. It matters how we talk about it." @em_healthpsych

#Caring4NHSPeople #ProjectM

Community and belonging is crucial to recover from moral injury

💙Normalise reactions
💙 Encourage social support outside work
💙 Focus on shared purpose and belonging

#Caring4NHSPeople #ProjectM

How leaders can help:

💙 LISTEN
💙 Model positive behaviours
💙 Be visible
💙 Be honest when you don't know
💙 Communicate clearly, concisely, regularly
