Understanding Moral Injury, also known as Moral Distress and Administrative Betrayal, with Dr. Rita Brock.

In this episode of Beneath the Helmet, host Arjuna George interviews Dr. Rita Brock, the director of Volunteers America's Shea Moral Injury Institute. Dr. Brock explains the concepts of moral injury, moral distress, and administrative betrayal, particularly within fire services, healthcare, first responder agencies, and the military. She shares her personal journey and extensive professional experience in addressing these issues. The episode provides valuable insights and resources for recognizing and recovering from moral injury, emphasizing the importance of community and peer support. Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the emotional and spiritual challenges those in demanding service roles face.

Administrative betrayal is the act of deliberate disloyalty and occurs when leadership fails to protect their member(s) during a time of vulnerability, therefore inducing harm by neglecting to react in a way that meets the basic needs of the first responder.
