This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. The Eating Disorder Coalition of Iowa, a not-for-profit organization, is establishing a central resource for information, assistance and awareness for Iowans regarding eating disorders. Co-founder Michelle Roling explains the group is completely run by volunteers at this time with a board made up by dieticians, therapists, those who have gone through recovery and parents of those who have been through recovery.

Roling says those concerned should approach others with senstivity and help set up an appointment with a professional. For more information click here.
