Help Deborah raise money

For participating in Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon Virtual Race 2020

My Story…

Canada's health charities expect to raise less than half of their normal funds this year because of COVID-19. The pandemic has led to the cancellation of many in-person events that charities rely on for fundraising. That is why I am running for Eli's Place. There is a tremendous gap in our mental health system for young adults, aged 19 to 35, with serious mental illness. Eli’s Place will help close this gap, providing a long-term, rural residential treatment and recovery-based program. The first of its kind in Canada, Eli’s Place will offer individualized therapeutic care with a graduated transition into the community. A range of programs will promote recovery and resilience through the acquisition of life and work skills needed to move from survival to living, and from mental illness to hopeful futures. Please donate and help Eli's Place become a reality. Thanks! Deb

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.
