Tickets for No Filters: Communication and Connection are on sale via National Centre for Writing. Book online at nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk

How can we communicate when things are painful? Is it possible to connect across generational differences? How can parents and teenagers have real, honest conversations?

In this candid and unique discussion, nurse-turned-bestselling-author Christie Watson and her daughter Rowan Egberongbe explore the challenges of talking about mental health across generations.

No Filters: A Mother and Teenage Daughter Love Story is a book for all parents and teenagers going through a tough time, and for friends, grandparents, teachers and healthcare professionals who want to help. Its bare honesty will have you laughing – and possibly crying – out loud as it shows that you are not alone.
