Trevor. I was moved by the discussion about compassion and young men. As an Australian mother of a young woman and man this story hits hard. I wanted to share a link to Rosie Battys work and life with tragedy and mental health. Her representation of grief and forgiveness is deeply important https://engagingwomen.com.au/stories/rosie-batty-ceo-luke-batty-foundation/
