Guiding Light: Supporting Moral Injury Recovery Through Spiritual Care (Summer Session)

For dedicated military chaplains, veteran advocates, and faith leaders who carry the weight of their community’s deepest soul wounds, Guiding Light is the premier operational training program that transforms the abstract trauma of moral injury into concrete, spiritual healing. Moving beyond broad, self-paced mental health overviews or purely psychological clinical treatments, this live, interactive 12-hour intensive bridges veteran-focused research with immediate, frontline pastoral utility. It provides a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space designed to help caregivers restore inner peace to those they serve while simultaneously fortifying their own personal spiritual resilience.

Led by Dr. Daniel L. Roberts—leveraging over 20 years of frontline expertise—this specialized course equips you with elite, evidence-based frameworks to move past surface conversations. Participants will gain actionable methods to identify the specific signs of a wound to the conscience and implement structured pastoral interventions. Through high-quality materials including a digital manual, slide deck, and the book Moral Injury: A Guidebook for Military Leaders, you will master practical takeaways like the Spiritual Assessment Interview (SAI) and Re-Authoring Narrative practices.

Developed in direct consultation with NAVAC, this virtual training serves as the official first step toward an elite Moral Injury Specialty Certification, ensuring your learning directly contributes to a recognized professional milestone rather than a dead-end certificate. This highly specialized, interactive community experience is available for an all-inclusive investment of $60. It delivers elite institutional backing and a deeply human, practical toolset at a fraction of the cost of corporate clinical tracks.
