On school and conference presentations:
"It was after your presentation that I realized I couldn't win, that I might die if I continued on my path ... now four and a half years later ... I am applying to medical school. I just wanted to thank you for spreading your message, and I wanted you to know that I may not have made it to where I am today if you hadn't come to Amherst to talk to the students." --Former Amherst College student
"I just wanted to thank you for coming all the way across the country to speak at our school. It has sparked so many different conversations. Students are discussing it in their classes and questioning everything (a good thing). Faculty and staff are looking at how they think about food and how they have reacted around other students, even their own children. I can't tell you how many times I have had a faculty member come up and say, "Thank you for bringing them here." You have helped our campus a great deal." --Instructor at a prestigious eastern boarding school
"I am currently doing my residency in psychiatry ... I attended your presentation at the Renfrew Center Conference in Philadelphia. Your story was illuminating to me in many ways and has helped to fuel an interest in learning more about the diagnosis and treatment of eating disorders. In the few months since the conference, I have definitely noticed a change in the way I talk with my patients ... about eating disorders and body image." --Renfrew Conference attendee
On Educator's Workshops:
"I loved every activity, every exercise, all the interactive opportunities today. Come back to teach us more, build on today's dialogue, skills, tools, resources. Thank you, Doris!" --Half-Day Educator's Workshop Attendee
"[Your presentation] opened my eyes to the impact of the negative messages we give children about body image. I really learned a lot and was glad I could participate. I will use the information to shape my curriculum in my class and to support my students with body image issues." --Half-Day Educator's Workshop Attendee
On the educational curriculum series:
"You have done a fabulous, over the top, ridiculously unbelievable job with this. It could be one of the most valuable tools ... yet." --Mary Ellen Clausen, Executive Director, Ophelia's Place, Liverpool, NY (Series Pilot Location)
On Family Week presentations:
"Doris is amazing! She received the highest marks on Avalon Hills Family Week evaluations from staff, parents and clients. We will continue to bring her to Avalon Hills!" --Benita Quakenbush-Roberts, PhD, Executive Director, Avalon Hills, UT
