EVENTS

The Crusade for Forgotten Souls covers issues of interest to a wide range of audiences including those involved in mental health and developmental disability advocacy, Minnesota political and social history, community service organizations, health professionals in nursing, medicine, social work, psychiatry, and long term care;  women’s groups,  ethnic and religious organizations including Norwegian and Swedish heritage, Unitarians, Jewish and Protestant denominations. 

 

In addition to public events, the author has appeared at book clubs, book stores, and member-only gatherings.  The author tailors the presentations to focus on the specific interests of the attendees. The author is based in Minnesota and northern California and is willing to entertain invitations for presentations and book signings for interested groups in 2019.
