Join us for a public forum with Annie Rogers

Tony would like to invite you to an upcoming public forum by Annie Rogers.  Tony recently profiled Annie’s book The Unsayable on the Marian Finucane Show which you can listen to here. Annie has now kindly agreed to give a public lecture.

 “Allowing Young People to Say the Unsayable”, Annie Rogers will profile the challenges that young people (12-25) face in their journey to adulthood.  She will draw on her experience working with young people who struggle to come to terms with experiences that were traumatic.  Tony will respond to Annie’s remarks and facilitate an audience Q&A.
