These situations can lead to secondary trauma and moral injury. This study examines the factors contributing to secondary trauma and moral injury and their impact on the professional identity of mental health professionals in India. A purposeful sample of 30 professionals, composed of psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatric social workers, participated in semi-structured interviews. Qualitative thematic analysis identified four key themes: vulnerabilities and emotional exposure, ethical complexities and responsibilities, balancing integrity with emotional strain, and resilience and professional growth. These qualitative themes underscore the significant challenges faced by mental health professionals in India, including emotional strain, systemic barriers, and ethical conflicts, while highlighting strategies such as coping mechanisms, professional development, and support systems to address these issues. This study provides practical recommendations for interventions aimed at addressing secondary trauma and moral injury, fostering resilience, and strengthening the professionals identity and overall well-being of professionals within the Indian context. 2025 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.
