Hope’s Garden

Hope’s Garden offers an educational outreach program to increase public awareness and education about eating disorders, and to promote early detection and prevention of these devasting illnesses.

Our presentations are based on current research and we consult a variety of professionals with an expertise in dealing with eating disorders and the surrounding issues in their development.  The presentation fee of $50.00 includes travel time and expenses such as hand-outs and art supplies. Hope’s Garden operates on a shoestring budget, and receives no government funding. This fee reflects both the value of the service being offered and our goal to achieve sustainable funding to keep our doors open.

The Picture of Health Youth Workshops are currently being offered.  All other presentations are currently not available as we make changes to the program.

Please email info@hopesgarden.org with the subject line “POH Youth Workshop Request” to request a workshop and our facilitator, Gill Yealland, will contact you.

Picture of Health Youth Workshops (Formally GIRLPOWER!)

This workshop is an art experience workshop facilitated by Registered Art Therapist, Gill Yealland. A choice of activities depending on the age of the group are available. The activities are designed to generate conversation about and to promote positive body image and self esteem. Groups of girls or boys are ideal, but co-ed groups are an option. These workshops can be tailored to many ages but they work best if the age in each workshop is consistent.
