Hope's Garden

Description

Using the success of Sheena’s Place in Toronto as a model, a task force was established to create Hope’s Garden, Eating Disorders Support and Resource Centre. The intent for Hope’s Garden was to provide non-treatment programs in a safe, non-threatening environment, to people who have eating disorders and for their families and friends. Through donations and community partnerships Hope’s Garden opened its doors on November 25th, 2002. Hope’s Garden continues to rely on the generosity of the community to operate its programs and services to the public.

A not-for-profit organization providing information and support services at no cost to people affected by eating disorders and their families. Located in Burlington, Ontario.

Individual counselling specializing in eating disorders, body image and self-esteem. Goal is to provide clients with a safe space to feel heard, understood and given a voice. My approach is very client-centred and I believe the client is the expert of their own experience. I tend to utilize cognitive behavioural therapy, narrative therapy and family systems therapy, and encourage the use of journal writing. I also welcome individuals for counselling with anxiety, depression, stress, grief & loss and life transitions.

The Eating Disorders Association of London Inc. (EDAL) was founded in 1993. The EDAL consisted of health care professionals who treated patients with eating disorders and others who were directly affected by the devastation eating disorders can have on a person and their family. The group of dedicated volunteers was led by Dr. James McSherry. In 1996, EDAL gained status as a registered charitable organization.
