Welcome To Danielle's Place
Danielle’s Place is a centre that offers hope and healing in a safe, welcoming environment to those affected by an eating disorder.
Our mission is to provide a non-judgmental, caring and supportive community to any individual whose life has been touched by an eating disorder. Our mandate is to offer care that is complementary to the medical model. We promote a holistic and self-directed approach to healing through which families and individuals can begin, maintain or resume their healing journeys.
Danielle’s Place is a non-profit organization whose support programs, self-help tools and special events are designed to inspire, empower and motivate individuals along this difficult journey.
thank you for your donation!
