Mike Tikkanen, author of Invisible Children

tikkanenJoin us this Saturday for a thoughtful conversation about how our institutions meant to serve children are contributing to child abuse.

Saturday, June 8
8:00 AM – 9:30 AM
Gardens of Salonica 19 5th St NE, Minneapolis (map)

Mike’s business background and years as a volunteer county guardian ad-Litem make him a leading author and speaker for generating awareness, exposing facts that many are afraid, or unable to bring to the attention of the American public.

Working with abused and neglected children Mike speaks directly about the financial and physical disaster happening daily to children, schools, and neighborhoods because of poor public policy and the dysfunction of well- meaning people and institutions.

His conversations identify and address the critical issues facing America’s most vulnerable population and how our institutions are creating exactly what they were designed to stop.
6 million children are reported to child protection in the U.S. each year impacting schools, health, crime, prisons and the health of our cities.

Breaking the cycle child abuse and a declining quality of life throughout the nation is directly related to how communities address services that make it possible for children to cope and go on to lead meaningful lives.

Blaming teachers for failed schools & social workers for babies in dumpsters is counterproductive.

Past presentations include the United Nations, Women’s Prison Warden Conference, Business Professional Women’s organization & CASA Reno

Mike’s book and videos are available on the KARA website & his short speaking video can be seen here;
