Washington, DC – During more than a decade of researching his The Boy Crisis, Dr. Farrell saw the global effect that father absence has on boys and men doing mass shootings, joining ISIS, committing suicide and suffering in more than 70 other ways. He discovered the degree to which these boys hurt, and how boys who hurt, hurt us.
Since Dr. Farrell also chairs the Coalition to Create a White House Council on Boys and Men, his interest is greater than articulating the problem. In an effort to gather leaders to help solve the problem, Dr. Farrell will host an event titled ”The Boy Crisis and What DC Community Leaders Can Do About It”. The event will take place at Busboys & Poets in Arlington, VA (4251 Campbell Avenue) on Thursday, June 14th, 2018, from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
After discussing the evidence and causes of a global boy crisis, Dr. Warren Farrell will facilitate an in-depth discussion among community leaders, legislators and government officials as to what can be done about it. Leaders will exchange ideas and build alliances both with each other and the community in both small and large group settings. Media will be invited to report the most promising plans.
WHO: Dr. Warren Farrell PhD, co-author (with John Gray) of the newly released The Boy Crisis: Why Our Boys Are Struggling and What We Can Do About It and speaker at “The Boy Crisis and What DC Community Leaders Can Do About It” .
WHEN: “The Boy Crisis and What DC Community Leaders Can Do About It” is on Thursday June 14th from 6:00PM EST until 9:00PM EST. Interviews are by appointment from Wednesday June 13th until Friday June 15th
