My Story…
Eli’s Place will be based on the over 100-year-old Gould Farm in the United States, which has a research-proven track record of outstanding outcomes.
My own experience with the gaps in our mental health system gave me the motivation to contribute to the change, and I’ve worked with Eli’s Place ever since, putting my efforts together with a team of people who have the shared vision and passion to help young people struggling with serious mental illness.
We are ready to go, and we have great support, but we need funding to get the shovels into the ground.
Description
For the 119,000 young adults in Ontario grappling with serious mental illness, access to effective treatment is grossly inadequate. The cost in lives lived with debilitating challenges or lost to early death is far too great. The vision of Eli’s Place aims to bring hope. A first-of-its-kind in Canada, Eli’s Place is modelled after a leading rural, residential long-term treatment centre with proven success. Programs that incorporate therapeutic work, specialized care and skills training will offer a path to recovery for people in this underserved age group, giving them the tools to heal and move from simply surviving to living.
