September 10-16, 2012 is the annual National Invisible Chronic Illness Awareness Week (NICIAW), put on by Rest Ministries in collaboration with other sponsors including the Invisible Disabilities Association (IDA).  This is a time to bring awareness to the nearly 1 in 2 people who live with a chronic illness, about 96% of which is invisible.  The theme for this year is “Invisible Illness? Share Your Visible Hope.”  This year, NICIAW will provide audio and video seminars, handouts, articles, blogs, posters and more!

IDA provides awareness, articles, pamphlets, booklets, radio interviews, videos, seminars, events, resources, an online social network and much more.
