A healing farm
Where recovery grows
Eli’s Place is a working farm where every part of life is designed to support recovery. For young adults with serious mental illness and the people who care about them, we are the only long-term therapeutic community in Canada that integrates clinical care, meaningful work and belonging.
The need
We are working to close the existing gap in care
For many of the 160,000 young adults in Ontario with serious mental illness, traditional clinical therapy is not enough. Lacking access to long-term, holistic residential care, these young adults cycle in and out of acute care in hospital ERs. The threat of suicide is real, with more than 1 in 7 reporting suicidal ideation.
The solution
Canada’s first therapeutic farm
Based on an effective and proven model, Eli’s Place offers young adults with serious mental illness a farm-based, long-term residential treatment and recovery program. Community living, meaningful work, and individualized therapeutic care nurtures a growth mindset in our guests. In addition to transitional care as guests move back into the community.
