Public information and professional outreach (PIPO) committees throughout the OA Fellowship have new tools to carry the message to the still-suffering compulsive eater who is searching for a solution. “OA has your back” is a new public service annoucement (PSA) video that depicts the range of problems with food that compulsive eaters might deal with and shares that OA offers support and recovery. A new PIPO web page brings together the primary resources offered by OA world service.
OA has your back PSA video
“OA has your back” is a 75–second video formatted for streaming on the internet. Additional versions, such as a 30-second version suitable for online advertising, and a 60-second version formatted for broadcast television in North America and South Korea and more will be made available.
PIPO web page
A new PIPO web page, located under Service Body Resources, provides a one-stop shop for public information and professional outreach resources, including links to PIPO literature, videos, animated GIFs, radio PSAs and more.

Translations Needed!
The World Service Office (WSO) is looking for translation volunteers to provide subtitles in non-English languages. Additionally, opportunities are available to registered service bodies to record non-English voice over track to create versions of “OA has your back” in different languages. Contact the WSO to get started.
How to use the new PSA video
- Talk with your regions about posting the video on their social media platforms and websites.
- Ask your North American regions, intergroups, service boards, and PIPO Committees to contact local television stations about PSA airtime.
- Forward a link to the video to friends and family inside and outside the Fellowship.
