This workshop is designed for the audience to hear and engage with the presenter on how one man dealt with Family Matters because Family Matters. The workshop immediately draws the audience in when both shared and then are asked what happened when FATE meets FAITH collided at the intersection of LIFE and DEATH in their own experiences. Both the audience and facilitator talk about trigger points that establishes resilience and leadership from a front row seat to Trauma, Mental Health, Resilience, Loss of Life, Grief, Self Care and New Realities all thru the lenses of the memoir “Loving 42: A Mother’s Pray, A Son’s Journey, A Father’s Strength” from the presenter to the examples through audience participation.
