Jerry Moe | How children make sense of trauma

Today we talked to Jerry Moe. Jerry is a hugely respected figure across the world. He is someone who has changed the way the world talks about alcoholism and its effects on the family.

It was a great honour to get to sit down with him for an hour. Settle down for this one. Everything Jerry says is filled with brilliant insight and experience.
