Registration Open for Moral Injury Certificate Program
The one-of-a-kind training course engages individuals in diverse fields, including healthcare, law enforcement, social services, and more who experience moral injury
Registration deadline is August 31; register at brite.edu/soulrepair
FORT WORTH, TX – The Moral Injury Certificate Program (MICP) – the leading training course for faith leaders, caregivers, service-providers, educators, and more on moral injury – opened registration today for the Fall 2026 session. Through the 10-week course, students from diverse fields will learn to address the harm of moral injury through supportive strategies that build moral repair and moral resilience.
First coined by Dr. Jonathan Shay in 1994, moral injury is defined as a betrayal of what’s right by a person in legitimate authority – or by oneself – in a high-stakes situation. This definition originally centered on combat veterans, but today, moral injury appears in a variety of fields including healthcare, law enforcement, social services, and faith communities – as well as communities impacted by systemic racism, economic exploitation, and other structural injustices.
Through the MICP course, individuals will learn and experience a foundational education on trauma and moral injury supported by evidence-based research from various disciplines, including social work, psychology, spiritual care, and more. The 50-hour course includes group discussions, practicums, independent study, and complex readings, culminating in a capstone project presentation at the end of the course.
The deadline for registration is August 31, so apply today at brite.edu/soulrepair.

About The Soul Repair Center
Founded in 2012, the Soul Repair Center is led by a vision is to normalize, rather than pathologize, the responses associated with moral injury — loss, lament, outrage, shame, and distrust — as signs of moral health and opportunities for reparative action. This shift requires pushing beyond clinical frameworks to focus on critical examination of institutions and systems that demand complicity in practices that violate an individual’s values.
