Protecting Against Moral Injury among Healthcare Missionaries

The setting of cross-cultural medicine inherently produces moral injury. This moral injury occurs because different cultures have different deeply held values, and medical care intersects with some of the most emotionally and spiritually powerful values. Moral injury is one of the most common reasons for distress in healthcare missionaries, and the consequences can be severe and lifelong. This calls for adequate preparation, ongoing mentoring, institutional boundary-setting, and further research.

The Role of Faith-Based Partnerships in Supporting Domestic Violence Survivors

Domestic violence (DV) is a pervasive public health crisis, impacting over 10 million people in the U.S. each year.* Survivors face numerous challenges, from physical injuries to complex mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Healing from the trauma of DV requires holistic support that addresses survivors’ safety, health, economic, and spiritual needs. While DV shelters offer vital services, many struggle to comprehensively meet clients’ diverse needs. Faith and spirituality can play a powerful role in survivors’ resilience and recovery.** However, little research has explored how DV agencies perceive and collaborate with faith-based organizations (FBOs) to provide holistic care. This study interviewed staff from DV shelters to understand their experiences and attitudes toward FBO partnerships.

The Meros Center was an excellent partner. They took the time to understand our organization and our goals. They brought technical skills and other resources to the table that we lacked internally and the research we did together gave us the data we needed to greatly improve the services we offer.
