Ladies and Gents,
This episode we delve into the very important topic of moral injury, with Nikki Jamieson.
Nikki tragically lost her son to suicide in 2014, who had been serving in the Australian Army.
Since this time Nikki has embarked on a journey to uncover and understand suicide, especially within the veteran community.
Her thesis has also just been submitted, on the topic of moral injury, which is the focus of this interview.
We will explore what Moral Injury is and what causes it, the difference between PTSD and Moral Injury, the impact if the Brereton Report, a little on suicide statistics, integrating resilience into the Defence Force, possible solutions and treatments for Moral Injury and how to follow Nikki's work.
Thank you for your excellent insights Nikki
