August 11, 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

  • Describe a conceptual model of moral injury and suicide risk.
  • Discuss Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Moral Injury (ACT-MI) as an approach to targeting moral injury and suicidal behavior.
  • Discuss the results of a case study where ACT-MI was applied to moral injury and suicidal behavior.
