Speakers Bureau

More than 45 members of the EDCT have received our Speakers Bureau training to speak about eating disorders, body image, nutrition, and much more. These presentations are typically free-of-charge and open to the community. Since its inception in 2003, the Speakers Bureau has reached more than 15,000 Tennesseans and is growing each year. This past year, more than 30 EDCT members participated. Contact Brittany MacNealy to schedule a Speakers Bureau presentation for your organization or to sign up for our next Speakers Bureau training.    

Families Supporting Families (FSF)

The Families Supporting Families support groups have grown this year. In Nashville, FSF meets the first and third Monday of each month at the EDCT office (2120 Crestmoor Rd., Ste. 3000). The group averages 14 participants each meeting and is co-facilitated by Connie Horton and Kathy Gaston. Kathy and Connie are helping states like Washington and Kentucky start their own Families Supporting Families support groups with help from the EDCT Families Supporting Families Facilitator's Training Manual and Guidebook. Having a place to talk with other families about issues related to eating disorders -- and learn how the whole family is affected -- continues to be one of the most important programs of the EDCT.
