Ryan Roberts, MBA, is a Complexity Practitioner, USMC combat veteran, and founder of The Journey Home. His research and practice sit at the intersection of Complexity Science and Moral Injury. He treats Moral Injury not as a clinical disorder but as a dynamic, ontological wound to the architecture of the self, where values, meaning, purpose, identity, and belonging destabilize within a living system. He serves as a bridge between clinical research and lived experience, advocating for community-based models of care that recognize meaning-making not as a therapeutic preference, but as a structural requirement for human survival.
