@manchesterup.bsky.social Can the concept of moral hurt help us better understand, plan and provide for victims of conflict? This book suggests moral injury provides an alternative insight into people’s experiences. #moralinjury #moralhurt #the-troubles manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526190499/

@manchesterup.bsky.social would declaring a mental health emergency enable a more effective and earlier policy and service response to victims and survivors of political conflict? manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526190499/
