SUMMARY:Bridges: Crossing Cultural Divides – Erica Komisar
DESCRIPTION:Admission to this event is free of charge, thanks to the generosity of the late Donald Loyd and his family.\nMany educators, parents, and mental health professionals have begun asking questions about the challenges facing boys and young men today – from declining academic engagement to rising concerns about mental health and purpose. In this lecture, Erika Komisar, psychoanalyst, author, and licensed clinical social worker, explores what some researchers have called the “boy crisis,” examining how developmental needs, family life, education, and cultural expectations may shape young men’s sense of identity and well-being.\n \nDrawing on decades of clinical experience working with children and parents, Komisar considers how parents, schools, and communities can better support boys’ and young men’s emotional development, resilience, and healthy pathways into adulthood.\n \nErica Komisar, LCSW, specializes in treating individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and compulsive behaviors, while also helping parents navigate the emotional demands of raising healthy, resilient children. She is a graduate of Georgetown and Columbia Universities and the New York Freudian Society. Erica is also a regular contributor to The Wall Street Journal and has been a guest on major media platforms, including CBS, ABC, and Fox News. She is the author of two best-selling books: Being There: Why Prioritizing Motherhood in the First Three Years Matters and Chicken Little: The Sky Isn’t Falling: Raising Resilient Adolescents in the New Age of Anxiety.\n \n
