DESCRIPTION:Moral injury (MI) is a relatively new construct strongly assoc
 iated with PTSD. However\, an understanding of how MI contributes to PTSD\
 , depression\, and anxiety symptoms is lacking.Of particular concern is MI
  in civilians compared to military service members. This study was initiat
 ed as part of the project “Moral Injury and Healing of Combatants: Neuro
 cognitiveCorrelates and Psychological Interventions\," funded by the Ukrai
 nian Ministry of Education and Science. Psychosocial support and health se
 rvices are being provided to the military and civilian population by the U
 krainian Psychotrauma Center (UPC) in Lutsk\, Ukraine\, where the clinicia
 ns and researchers have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding 
 of MI during the military conflict in Ukraine and develop approaches to he
 lp mitigate MI and associated mental health symptoms. Therefore\, this stu
 dy extends the understanding of MI as often co-occurring but still differe
 nt from PTSD in civilian populations during wartime. The mechanisms of tra
 nsgenerational transmission of genocidal trauma\, risk\, and protective fa
 ctors of MI in the face of war atrocity will be discussed.\n\n(The Nick Ma
 ckintosh Seminar Room is on the *second floor* of the department.)
