Vancouver Island Voices for Eating Disorders invites you to join us for our section Virtual Town Hall this Thursday, February 1st from 6:30 to 8:00 PM PST to acknowledge national Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) - February 1st to 7th, 2024.
VIVED’s Virtual Town Hall EDAW 2024 - A Panel Discussion on Eating Disorders
Our panel discussion provides an opportunity to honour the voices of lived and living experience in our community and share alternative ways of meaningful healing outside of standard models of care.
This event is facilitated by VIVED members, including our Moderator Chelsea Kelly. We want to honour the inherent capacity of each one of us to navigate challenging feelings and difficult conversations. Volunteers will be available to provide peer support.
Our panel of speakers includes persons with lived and living experience of an eating disorder, their loved ones, clinicians, mental health advocates, and government change-makers.
This event is closed to the media and there will be no recording of the session for confidentiality of all in attendance.
Featured Panelists:
Dr Anita Federici, PhD, CPsych, FAED, Clinical Psychologist & Owner of the Centre for Psychology + Emotion Regulation
Adam Olsen, MLA for Saanich North & the Islands & Member of the BC Green Caucus
J Nicole Little, PhD, RCC-ACS, Mental Health Therapist & Owner of Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy Canada (RO DBT Canada)
Jonathon Morris, CEO of Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) BC Division
