Richard Hogan
Richard Hogan is a systemically trained Family Psychotherapist, registered with The Family Therapy Association of Ireland. He is also a schoolteacher, a lecturer and author of a weekly column for The Irish Examiner. His recently published book ‘Parenting the Screenager’, available on Amazon, is a practical guide for parents the world over. It provides an equally valuable steer for educators and mental health practitioners as it so happens, as well as being a directional and problem solving good read for the teenagers and young adults themselves, about whom it’s written. As a Fulbright Student to Antioch University Seattle, Richard will carry out research on how to promote inclusion, in the Irish and American education systems. Richard is the founder and chairperson of a charity called EMBRACE PHILIPPINES. The charity supports The Badjao Tribe, a marginalised indigenous tribe, who receive very little help from the government of the Philippines and as a result many children die from very curable diseases. Richard’s aim is to empower the Badjao people and to afford them opportunities to receive the education they deserve. Richard’s work with the older members of the Badjao people is a resilience building undertaking to improve self-sufficiency, towards eventually eliminating begging as an income. Richard is committed to alleviating their hardship, in so far as he and his team can.
