Adam Joel Speaking Topics

The Relationship Safety Talk

How do you spot abuse BEFORE it turns violent?

As a survivor, Adam Joel learned about relationship abuse the hard way -- in hindsight. Now he is using his skills as a filmmaker to shine a light on the lesser-known forms of abuse, and transform the way we visualize healthy relationships in our culture. With examples from Hollywood movies and his own sci-fi film about abuse, Joel breaks down 10 Toxic Relationship Myths, 10 Healthy Relationship Lessons, and a super memorable trick to make our own love stories healthier.

This talk can be customized for students & educators (college/post-grad, high school, & even middle school!), military & police personnel, court administrators, judges, & lawyers, domestic violence professionals, nonprofits/activists, mental health professionals, and the general public.

How to Spot the Lesser Known Forms of Abuse

Many people think that abuse doesn’t “count” unless it leaves a bruise. In this talk, Adam Joel sheds light on lesser known forms of abuse, including emotional abuse, psychological abuse, digital abuse, and financial abuse. It’s crucial we learn how to spot these forms of abuse, because abuse starts young: according to the American Psychological Association, “one in three American youths aged 14-20 say they’ve been victims of dating violence.” The sooner we can notice and name the red flags, the sooner we can seek help.

This talk can be customized for students & educators (college/post-grad, high school, & even middle school!), military & police personnel, court administrators, judges, & lawyers, domestic violence professionals, nonprofits/activists, mental health professionals, and the general public.
