Title: Spiritual Wellbeing in Times of Crisis: The Importance of Social Support, Positive Religious Coping, and Meaning in Life
Abstract: Disasters are a part of the human condition, and people often turn to their faith to make sense of suffering. An individual’s ability to engage in positive religious coping, attain social support, and find meaning have been argued to mitigate the deleterious effects of disaster. Spiritual wellbeing describes an individual’s sense of connection with something or someone greater than themselves and a general sense of importance and purpose in life. The relationships between these factors were explored in a sample of 180 college students who were affected by Hurricane Matthew, at the initial stages of disaster. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated significant predictive relationships between religious coping, social support, and meaning presence with spiritual wellbeing. Implications for professional counseling and future research are provided.

Title: Teaching Traumatized Generations: Understanding Moral Injury Can Help Course Design
Abstract: Teachers and students would mutually benefit from a stronger understanding of how neurological conditions impact the way in which people learn, think, and complete tasks. How people experience moral injury through general traumatic events and triggers can affect how they process information. Since the study of moral injury is relatively new, teachers can benefit from understanding this condition to help explain why certain students feel anxiety concerning course design and instruction. By recognizing how prevalent moral injury can be, teachers can think and rethink ways to convey and assess learning outcomes.
