“Diane Fedorchak absolutely "gets it." As someone who addresses prevention and intervention needs on a college campus, she understands the realities of budget issues, the need for multi-faceted prevention approaches, and what college students on our campuses are dealing with. She's not operating off of an old script -- she is able to talk about and address current trends and emerging science in a "real world" way. I learn from Diane every time I hear her talk. Importantly, she is also one of the most fun (and funniest) presenters I've ever had the chance to hear.” -- Jason Kilmer, Associate Professor and Assistant Director of Health & Wellness for Alcohol & Other Drug Education, University of Washington
”Diane provided our team with invaluable skills we needed to appropriately serve our college population in a knowledgeable and empathic way. She presented interventions in a fun, interactive format while always keeping the client's needs at the center of the discussion.. I am grateful for her commitment passing along her knowledge and experiences to others." - Nicole Barr, Director Services Coordinator Crossroads; University of Carolina Wilmington
"I have known Diane for almost 15 years. In that time, I have seen her professionalism and passion for the work. Diane is always trying to improve the field through her own work as well as training/presenting to others to improve their programming efforts, especially around the use of SBIRT, Motivational Interviewing and BASICS. Her presentations/trainings are engaging and fun while packed with good information.” - Peggy Glider, Coordinator; Evaulation and Research, University of Arizona
”Diane brings to her service years of professional and personal experience helping people recognize and come to terms with their choices around alcohol and other substances. She possesses a powerful mix of experience, education, tools, personality, warmth, and wit that she combines with humility and authenticity in a way that makes her extremely effective in connecting with her clients and colleagues.” - Ananda Lennox, Northampton Prevention Coalition Coordinator; Northampton, MA
"I have known and worked with Diane for almost 15 years and fine her presentations to be lively, engaging and informative. She has presented at many national conferences and knows how to connect with an audience. She is adept and creative at using slides to convey information and data that enhance her presentations. I highly recommend her work." - Lynn Reyes, Alcohol and Other Drug Specialist; University of Arizona
