Bridges: Crossing Cultural Divides

Join Bay View Association for an educational talk on Thursday, August 1st with Rob Henderson the author of Troubled: A Memoir of  Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.

About the Speaker: Rob Henderson is the author of Troubled: A Memoir of Foster Care, Family, and Social Class.

This talk discusses why young men often engage in risky behaviors, especially in their teens and early twenties. This behavior, known as “young male syndrome,” results from a mix of socio-cultural factors and biological influences. Drawing from his personal background as a former foster kid raised in Los Angeles, his experiences in the US Air Force, as well as his academic expertise, the speaker stresses the importance of guidance in helping young men make good choices.
