Description
In many helping professions, workers face moments where they know what should be done, but systemic barriers, conflicting policies, or power dynamics make it difficult or impossible to act. This internal struggle, known as moral distress, can lead to frustration, ethical erosion, and emotional fatigue over time. At the same time, cultivating moral courage - the ability to act with integrity even under pressure - can be a powerful protective factor. It helps professionals navigate ethical complexity without losing sight of their core values. This session will offer practical tools to recognize and respond to moral distress, and build the moral courage needed to act with integrity in complex systems.
Presented by: Françoise Mathieu, Executive Director, TEND
