Speaker Training

We are looking for eligible speakers who want to join the EDQ Lived Experience community. We provide training at no charge, support to all speakers on an ongoing basis, and share opportunities for lived experience speaking and sharing. 

Speakers are trained to share their stories of lived experience within the community at groups and training events for professionals. Speaking events can be held in person or online. There are also opportunities to share your story by pre-recorded video or in writing. Speakers may choose which options to participate based on their availability and interest. Opportunities may be paid or offered on a volunteer basis.

You will need to be available to attend both training dates online. Speakers must be at least 2+ years free from eating disorder behaviours, self-harm behaviours, or any related hospital admissions. We will schedule a brief interview with you before confirming your place in the training.

If you would be interested in joining the community, please reach out to us by email: [email protected]. This training will be facilitated by Amira and Mandy.
