| dc.description | For this A&PDF sponsored activity, I presented a poster titled, “Moral Distress Within the Counselor- Supervisory Relationship” at the Association for Counsellor Education and Supervision in Nashville. The poster presentation was very well received. Onlookers noted that moral distress with among counsellor interns has been seriously neglected within the counsellor education literature and that research ought to be undertaken to address this shortfall. Most conference attendees had never heard of moral distress, though once aware of it, its importance to counsellor education was readily realized. A few attendees spontaneously reported their own experience of moral distress as a counselling intern. Overall, feedback was very positive, and through this, I was able to make some important collegial connections. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Moral distress, an ethical concern that runs across many health professions, is described as the experience of knowing the morally right thing to do, yet not doing it due to personal, social, or institutional constraints. For interns, moral distress can resemble the old adage, “do as I say, not as I do”. Within the supervisor-intern relationship moral distress can foster disconnection, distrust, and isolation. In this presentation I discuss the theoretical and empirical foundations of moral distress, its impact on counselling interns/practicum students, and practices that help address this concern such that connection and safety thrive in the supervisory relationship. | en |
