Sponsored by the Amy Helpenstel
Foundation, St. Ambrose Counseling Center, St. Ambrose Women's Studies Department, and
Active Minds
In the fall of 2007, the Amy Helpenstell Foundation became
a stimulus to convene a variety of local professionals to study the issue of eating
disorders in the greater Quad-City area. The Foundation contacted the Robert Young
Center seeking assistance for a recommended approach. Dr. David Deopere, President
of RYC convened eleven treatment professionals and community leaders to plan the
effort.
