Register for the colloquium.

The Moral Injury Project was founded in 2014 at Syracuse University after a gathering of veterans, professors, religious scholars, chaplains, mental health providers and administrators asked the question, “What are we doing about moral injury among U.S. military veterans?” We asked this question in the wake of a visit to Syracuse University by Rita N. Brock of the Soul Repair Center at Texas Brite Divinity School. Her work inspired us and we consider ourselves allies in her mission to recognize and support U.S. veterans who are looking for answers about their military service and experiences.

So as to create forward thought and action about moral injury as it impacts veterans, we work to facilitate dialogue between members of the campus communities at Syracuse University and Le Moyne College, the larger Syracuse community and military veterans and family members who have experienced moral injury.
