Riverwalk, formerly Eating Disorders of York Region, recently received an anony- mous donation specifically to help them reach males in the community who might be struggling. ∞CIVIC & CR-V MODELS ONLY “We are deeply appreciative for the do- -MADE WITH DOMESTIC & IMPORTED PARTS nation,” says Riverwalk Executive Director Janice Morgante. “We receive calls every day from individuals looking for support and it can be from anywhere, even Nunavut because support is so hard to find.” Riverwalk was founded in 2004 after sev- eral families came together after the death of a young woman, who used resources from her memorial fund to start an agen- cy to address urgent and unmet needs for those suffering from disordered evening. It is a grassroots organization which of- fers a variety of assistance and support pro- grams well beyond their home base of York Region. This most recent donation enables them to meet further needs that were previously unmet. “If I am speaking to someone who is a male, or calling about a male they know, after we have gotten to know each other a bit in that conversation I can explore with them the support that can be made avail- able that they otherwise may not be able to manage without this donation,” says Ms. Morgante. “It’s the same conversation I would have with anyone, but unfortunately we don’t have the donors at this point, al- though that could change, who would want to make contributions for which we can is- sue an official income tax receipt and allow us to support even more people. “As an example, we have been getting calls from students who have no finan- cial means; they are not working, they are not on campus, they have no contact with THE 2020 OR LEASE FROM what might have been on-campus support, % although that was likely not specialized $ APR $ $ $ around disordered eating, but they have re- LX 61/1.99 0 0 1000 CIVIC Ω HONDA BONUS INCLUDED^ ally stressful situations as many people do MODEL FC2E5LEX WEEKLY FOR 60 MONTHS DOWN PAYMENT/OAC SECURITY DEPOSIT right now. My heart breaks for students. I can tell you from first-hand experience how the room lights up when we’re able to ad- dress real financial need.” The donation will also help to provide outreach to the male population. Although Ms. Morgante says she has no firm reasons on why males are sometimes more reluctant to seek help, she says that this demographic sometimes flies under the radar. “Someone in that person’s circle just doesn’t think about it,” she says. “That is where information is so helpful. There isn’t anyone who is immune to anxiety, depres- sion, stress and trauma, and all of the as- pects of difficult coping that we’re experi- encing right now with COVID.

No one goes out of their way to decide they are going to use food as a coping strategy, or any other substance. All of us needs coping strategies and hopefully somewhere along the way we have acquired positive coping strategies but, of course, that is not always the case. “Now, we’re able to offer support to a 13-year-old boy whose single mom would not have the financial means to get him the help he needs. In this case, it was a teach- er who noted the difference in the young boy from last year to this year and alerted mom.

PLEASE RECYCLE THIS NEWSPAPER! CALEDON CITIZEN | JANUARY 21, 2021 B1 News | Classifieds SSSPORTSPORTSPORTS Service Directory Strong Play is a strong, educational avenue for children

Written By ROBERT BELARDI Six years ago, the dream began. Volunteers for Strong Play, Adib Razavi and Alexander Arthur, always had a senti- mental idea of running a not-for-profit ser- vice to support families in need. Initially, the service was intended to be solely in-person. However, a few years back, both highly driven individuals for- mulated an idea, predicated on providing a virtual service. Fast-forward to last year, when the global pandemic began, the vir- tual idea became the focal point. Strong Play became a program to pro- vide youth education in sports, technology and the arts. “We wanted to be able to provide pro- gramming for youth in athletics and tech- nology and anything related to enhance their knowledge and anything in the Cana- dian culture,” Razavi said. Receiving help from Canadian Red Cross, Strong Play was a successful proj- ect this summer. Offered in six-, eight- or 12-week sessions, Strong Play served 820 youth across the Greater Toronto Area.
