We need to talk about the health crisis of the impact of moral distress and suffering…and how regenerative technology design can address it
There is a growing awareness of the urgent need to understand the impact of moral distress and suffering on individuals’ and society’s quality of life.
Moral distress is the conflict caused by transgressions of one’s moral code by an individual or leadership. It occurs when we suffer and feel the pain of being separated from our goodness and from what we need to thrive.
Because moral distress is not discussed, people are unaware of how it impacts their own and others’ wellbeing. (For example, the link between moral distress and virality of spread of information: Social media posts that stir moral distress are reposted 6 time or more.)
Join MaRi Eagar from EcoNova in this presentation and dialogue about this very important and relevant mental and emotional health topic to explore how participatory and regenerative technology design can contribute to moral resilience and flourishing.
For free access to EcoNova’s research on the topic, you can watch the video on Vimeo here. Its one hour long and rich in content.
