DEED Talks
DEEDs, Disordered Eating & Eating Disorders, in all their various forms and disguises, are the subject(s) of our speakers’ bureau, an enterprise we call DEED Talk.
This program is an initiative of STOPPING DEEDs, which, in turn, is a project of the Diana Jodel Foundation. The purpose of DEED Talks is very straight forward: to bring knowledgeable speakers to an audience in order to share information, create awareness, and provoke action that will be helpful to individuals and groups in the
stopping of disordered eating and eating disorders.
Our speakers are professionals (psychologists, care-givers, dieticians, and the like), often paired with an individual who is a recovered/recovering person personally involved with an eating disorder. The laypersons are students, adults, friends and family members, others who have an intimate relationship to this mental illness.
The talks are as formal or informal as the situation dictates; lasts as long as needed (usually an hour or less), is interactive, participatory, and never intended to single out any individual. Sometimes we use graphics, screen presentations, or other skillful means of presenting the material; it depends, of course, on the ages, interests, and settings for the talks.
We don’t limit our talks to just talk, by that we mean sometimes the presentation may be a dance routine followed by a discussion, a play or vignette, or other form of presentation. It depends on the audience, their ages and interests.
Please contact us to discuss the possibility of presenting to your audience.
