“Moral Distress and Resilience of the Heart” – Frank Ostaseski

Moral distress is a term for the mental and emotional distress that an individual experiences when confronted with a moral dilemma or unaddressed moral suffering.  It commonly occurs when a clinician knows the right thing to do but individual or institutional constraints prevent them from doing it.

For example, when I cannot act in a way that is consistent with my core values, the ethics of my chosen profession, or what I care about in terms of service. 

It can lead to emotional exhaustion,a sense of powerlessness, depersonalization and burnout. 

Resilience refers to the ability to recover, by adapting to challenges, stress and adversity. Resilience is supported by self-awareness and insight, preserving personal integrity and the integrity of others, and the ability to bear witness and take compassionate action. It blossoms when there is organizational support for education, clear communication and training  to address ethical concerns.

This session will begin an exploration of moral distress and focus on a few personal practices that may help build the resilence of the heart.
