Matthew Bocchi is a survivor of a devastating loss, a trauma (emotional and physical) and sexual assault. After delivering speeches to high schoolers in the Tri-State area regarding hope and perseverance, Matthew decided to write a book called SWAY. SWAY discusses Matthew’s loss of his father in 9/11 and him being sexually assaulted by a family member.
Matthew discusses his day on 9/12 and how it was different from the day before, ways to push through and overcome mental health, and how as a nation, we can step up to encourage youth to speak up about sexual assault.
