R3: ADVOCACY
Paving the way for Mental Health Advocacy and Cultural Change
Moral Injury is a powerful tool in our fight for mental health awareness and resources. By capitalizing on this concept, we aim to further destigmatize mental health discussions and promote a proactive culture of care.
We've witnessed life-changing outcomes when first responders use R3 Program resources to address moral injury, and we believe it's crucial to gather qualitative data to understand and capture the impact of this change.
The Moral Injury Outcome Scale (MIOS) is a self-report scale designed to capture the severity of moral injury outcomes in response to a potentially morally injurious experience.
R3 participants will complete the anonymous MIOS at the time of application to utilize a resource and again within twenty-four hours of completing their training program.
Through the use of the internationally standardized MIOS, we aim to share this valuable data with universities and larger agencies to partner in their moral injury research initiatives.
This data is tangible evidence that the implementation of a comprehensive wellness and resiliency program, utilizing resources that proactively address and heal moral injury, has an extraordinary impact on the mental well-being of first responders.
This evidence-based approach not only validates the efficacy of such programs but also underscores the critical role they play in fostering healthier individuals, resilient teams, and stronger connections with the community.

“Instead of waiting for a crisis in your life, get out in front of it and address things as they're building instead of when they're already exploding. That to me would be a huge benefit to our department.”
