Cultivating Moral Courage

CARE4YOU 2025 Closing Address

About the Video

In many helping roles, we navigate the space between what is right and what can actually be done. This tension can wear away at our sense of purpose over time and contribute to moral distress.

In this closing address, Françoise Mathieu explores how to meet these moments with moral courage. She will look at how to stay rooted in what matters most, how to act with integrity when systems or situations pull us in other directions, and how to keep making decisions that align with our values, day by day, one decision at a time.

Recorded in June 2025 as part of the CARE4YOU conference
