About
Anthony Goulet is a transformational writer and speaker, the author of five books, and a member of the Authors Guild. The Dalai Lama wrote the foreword for his book, Street Outreach: Love, Service & Leadership.
Anthony’s writing is woven together with love, prayer, laughter and tears, encouraging the reader to take the journey from the head back to the heart. Within his own lived experience as well as his professional calling of serving youth, young adults and families within the realms of suicide intervention, human trafficking intervention, homelessness intervention and emergency shelter services, Anthony has witnessed too many miracles to be a skeptic. And yet, he has also witnessed many skeptics who refuse to see their miracles.
Working full-time in prevention and intervention services with youth, young adults and families for over three decades, Anthony knows that no one is unreachable or unteachable as long as the heart doing the reaching and teaching is full of love, compassion and honor. For more than a decade he was on-call 24/7 as a street-level Gang Interventionist and Street Outreach Worker, serving youth and young adults who were homeless, runaways, missing and trafficked. During that time in his career, Anthony’s full-time office was under bridges, within drug houses, abandoned buildings, and inside emergency rooms delivering the Creator’s light of love, hope and healing.
Anthony and his family reside in San Antonio, Texas where he works full-time as the Director of Training with an amazing youth-serving organization. He continues to write and facilitate transformational training and workshops with schools, organizations and communities throughout the United States and abroad.
Featured Work
Broken Home, Healed Nest
Jessica has contemplated suicide for a while now. Grappling with the reverberating grief of losing her beloved grandmother and the trauma of a broken home, young Jessica is reaching a place so far from herself, her community, and the traditional Indigenous teachings she once lived by, it is frightening.
When it all becomes too much, Jessica attempts to take the final step over the ledge.
What follows is a journey through the sacred spaces within memory, song, and the spirit world, guided by two playful tricksters—eagles, who happen to have lifetimes of wisdom to share. With a love of riddles and soaring beyond the edges of possibility, they turn and twist Jessica’s reality until she can finally ground herself in what she has known all along, and allow the love, strength and voice of her beloved grandmother to once again be remembered and heard. The trajectory of Jessica’s life will be changed forever.
From Hopi Elder, Pershlie "Perci" Ami, and Street Outreach Worker, Anthony Goulet, comes a creative, sensitive, and thoughtful approach to the topic of suicide. Combined, they have over forty years of experience in youth development and suicide prevention.
