Resourcing Boys in the 21st Century
Finding a new language and vision
This can be a half or full day workshop – a half day where
Maggie takes you through her findings – a full day where
you also workshop a full plan of action.
9.15am - 12.30pm Workshop
In this interactive presentation Maggie will share key findings
from her extensive research into the lives of boys, in What
Men Don't Talk About and What's
Happening to Our Boys? To put these books together
Maggie interviewed many boys, teachers, school counsellors,
psychologists, law enforcement and medical personnel to get
an insider's view on what boys are experiencing right now.
There are over 70 boys' voices in the book.
