Dee DiGioia

Dee DiGioia founded Caring and Courageous Kids (CCKids) in 2009 while teaching as a Speech-Language Therapist and when she became aware that her students with special needs were experiencing bullying at school. No stranger to being bullied, Dee found her calling. She is inspiring a culture of compassionate thinkers to discover the power within their hearts and minds to help break the cycle of bullying and abuse with a commitment to nonviolence and compassionate action. Dee is partnered with the Charter for Compassion. She is author of her first published guidebook, "One Caring and Courageous Choice at a Time", which includes her children's educational DVD "Which Team Will You Choose?" which she also wrote, directed, and produced to help elementary school aged children learn what to say and what to do when confronted with bullying. Through public speaking, classes, and coaching, Dee is empowering children, parents, and educators around the world with valuable life-skills on emotional and physical well-being and safety.
