Do the care providers in your organization understand what moral injury is? Can they identify someone with moral injury and do they know how to provide appropriate care or refer the person to a trained provider?
As experts in moral injury, we offer training to civilian and government healthcare, law enforcement, and military organizations on the defining principles of moral injury, sources and effects of moral injury, moral injury in military families, how to provide immediate care to someone who presents with moral injury, professional self-care, and sanctuary trauma.
We are a team with diverse education, knowledge and experiences in the fields of chaplaincy, psychology, and adult learning. We will tailor our training program to your organization’s needs and budget. Our training audience has included chaplains, psychologists, social workers, public health practitioners, military family care providers, and military leaders in both the U.S. and Canada.

Jamie Peer is the Senior Executive Officer for MISNS. She served as a successful Active Duty Army Leader for over 23 years, culminating with her final assignment as the Professor of Military Science of the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Nebraska – Kearney. During her career, Jamie had a front-row seat to the power of human potential, and had hundreds of great experiences for which she will always be grateful. Unfortunately, Jamie also experienced dozens of morally injurious situations that ultimately left her feeling burnt out and disillusioned, which led to decision to retire shortly after accepting a promotion to Lieutenant Colonel. As Jamie spent the majority of her career as a HR professional in the Army, Jamie is personally interested in how moral injury affects talent retention, and her goal is to help prevent or mitigate the effects moral injury before people decide to leave the military.
Jamie served in command and primary director positions in military units ranging from 25 personnel to 10,000 personnel, so she certainly understands the challenges that military leaders face while they attempt to navigate mission accomplishment and taking care of people. She also understands the power of influence and leading up, as well as the importance of clear communication, transparency, and authenticity.
Since retiring in 2019, Jamie has served as a life and executive coach for over 200 people, including business and service professionals and high-ranking military leaders. She has also volunteered many hours personally mentoring members of the Nebraska National Guard, and Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine cadets at both the University of Nebraska and Kansas State University.
