My Story…
It is time again for the Toronto Waterfront Marathon. I will be walking this year with the Eli's Place team.
As you may be aware, we are in negotiations to open the first rural residential long term treatment center for young adults with serious mental illness just north of Guelph on the beautiful site of the Ignatius Jesuit Centre.
Funds to renovate and begin hiring staff are soon to be a reality and your donation is needed now, more than ever, to enable us to sign the lease, hire staff and move to an opening date.
Please give generously. We appreciate every dollar donated.
Sincerely,
H
Howard Hamer
Chair, Eli's Place Board of Governors
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.
