Moral Injury Talk

Join me for a talk about Moral Injury. The talk will explain what moral injury is, how it affected my life as a Paramedic and how the outdoors has helped with PTSD. And also, hopefully give some ideas and tips on how to potentially steer Moral Injury away from developing into the more permanent PTSD.

We will look at how neuropathways can be shaped to force a better more positive outcome with memories that head toward PTSD and techniques for self-care and shaping our own neuropathways.
