Q.C.
Eating Disorders Consortium
According to ANAD (National
Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders), anorexia has the highest
mortality rate of any mental illness. With this in mind, the Q.C. Eating Disorders
Consortium is passionate in its mission to be guided by the Amy Helpenstell
Foundation’s message of help, hope and healing by promoting awareness, understanding,
diagnosis and treatment for eating disorders in our community.
Our board meets the second Monday of
the month, at noon, at Community Support Program, second floor, 2200 3rd
Avenue, Rock Island. Let us know if you would be interested in adding your e-mail address
