It will take a multimillion dollar sum to design, build, and operate Eli's Place. Will you join our Founders Campaign to kickstart community support to establish this much-needed facility in Canada?

Eli's Place Residential Treatment Centre will offer a range of programs for young adults 19 to 35 years of age who have serious mental illness and often concurrent substance abuse issues. The first of its kind in Canada, Eli's Place will provide a therapeutic, rural environment where participants develop the required skills to recover from their illness, as well as life and work strategies to ensure a successful transition back to the community.

It will take a multimillion dollar sum to design, build, and operate Eli's Place. As a result, the Founders Campaign is a drive to kickstart community support for this much-needed facility for young adults in Canada.

Eli’s Place is an organization created to provide treatment to young adults with mental illnesses and raise awareness about mental health and mental illnesses. Deborah and David Cooper's ultimate goal is to teach young adults how to live with their mental illness and cope. They want to help people who are 19-35 specifically because they believe that this age range is not helped as much as teenagers, or older adults or senior citizens.

Eli’s Place has received the attention of two universities and held multiple events to raise money and awareness for Eli’s Place. An example would be the Toronto Jewish Choir presenting “Shir Delight” to benefit Eli’s Place in May of 2018.

As Eli's Place has not been officially built yet, they haven't been able to help people with the building yet. Despite this they have raised money and gained a lot of awareness through their many events, performances, exhibits, and more, from universities and the Canada Helps Organization. The founders so far have planned to make a facility able to house up to 40 people and give them a mental health treatment.
