Stop our Boys from suicide and mental health crisis: The Edge of Limits

Who is at high risk of suicide in Australia?

Young adults are 3 to 4 times more likely to take their own life than females.

The Edge of Limits is a game-changer. It goes into new territory. It challenges boys to become critical thinkers, to consider their actions and consequences. It challenges girls to understand them.

As an academic specialising in child growth and development as well as an author, Gervay recognises that during male young adult years, reasoning, planning and problem solving are developing. Why is Edge of Limits different? It engages in real-life story, choices and critical thinking. Gervay’s son worked with her to delve into the real world of male psychology.

Gervay addresses the Australian School Librarians Conference on the Gold Coast 20th April; and

will launch at Where the Wild Things Are at 6 pm. 20th April Brisbane; https://wherethewildthingsare.com.au/events/the-edge-of-limits-s-j-gervay
