The Human Cost of Caring: Navigating Moral Injury

Episode 4: The Human Cost of Caring:

Navigating Moral Injury

In this powerful episode of The Symptom Media Podcast: Bridging the Divide in Mental Health, host Dr. Lindi van Niekerk is joined by Dr. Sophie Redlin and nurse Andrea Mackay for an intimate conversation about moral injury in healthcare. Originally a term from military psychology, moral injury has become a resonant framework for understanding the inner conflict and lasting harm many health professionals experience when systemic failures or ethical dilemmas violate their sense of what is right. Drawing from their personal stories during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond, Sophie and Andrea unpack how these experiences shape caregivers—and how community, storytelling, and compassion can help repair the human cost.
