My Story…

As a member of the Eli's Place board of directors I am deeply engaged in realizing our vision. What has touched me most over the years is meeting other parents and family members who are supporting someone they love through serious mental illness. Too often these stories have ended in loss. Our stories focus on the revolving door of "emergency care" and lack of viable treatment opportunities. This is not about busting stigma or online therapy sessions.  This is about offering something that at present is unavailable to Ontarians who live with serious mental illness: an effective, compassionate and sustainable treatment option. 

With your support we can open the doors to Eli's Place. 

Description

For the 160,000 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.
