Chapter Development
The Harbour in London is a Scalable Community Chapter Model
The Harbour in London will be operated and managed as a pilot project to demonstrate a comprehensive model of care. EDFC has the goal of transferring its knowledge as piloted in London by establishing Chapters in other communities using its established treatment protocols, operating systems, designs, patient assessments and placement in research programs. Local Chapters of The Harbour would operate as separate non-profit organizations with its own board of directors and local financial supports with the benefit of a licensed package of services from EDFC to efficiently move forward.
Fast-Track Chapter Launch with a Proven Care Model
Each new non-profit Chapter would readily become operational by using an established service model, saving years of individual efforts to develop a separate approach to addressing eating disorders. Best of all, those in need would more quickly have a place to receive treatment and regular support.
Through regularly scheduled online conferences with The Harbour-London and affiliated Chapters, advances, successes and challenges would be shared and discussed for the benefit at all.
Sustainable Funding Through Diverse Community Support
A Chapter’s financial operations would be based on charitable donations, corporate sponsorships, local fundraising, co-payment agreements with individual patients, available health insurance, government grants and other supports. While we are not in a position to offer individual chapters financial support, our licensed model will provide significant savings by learning from EDFC’s years of development work in creating its innovative model of care and operating experience.
A network of Chapters working together will expand opportunities for operating grants from governments, broader support from Canadian corporations, other institutions, and individuals touched by a challenging eating disorder in their families.

Chapter Development
A better way to support students and young adults with eating disorders
The Harbour: A Scalable Model of Care
The Harbour in London provides treatment and support for underserved young adults while serving as a demonstration site for EDFC’s model of care. Following the London pilot launched in late 2024, EDFC plans to expand this approach by establishing local Chapters in communities across Canada.
Each Chapter will operate as an independent non-profit, supported by a licensed service package from EDFC that includes proven treatment protocols, operating systems, and brand standards. Chapters collaborate nationally, follow a Licensing Agreement, and are supported through donations, co-payments, sponsors or insurers, and government grants accelerating access to care and strengthening opportunities for partnerships and funding.

As well as addressing the needs of an underserved young adult population with treatment and support, The Harbour in London will be operated and managed as a demonstration project for its comprehensive model of care. EDFC has the goal of transferring its knowledge as piloted in London since late 2024, by establishing Chapters in other communities using its established program, operating systems, treatment protocols, brand, premises design, etc. Local Chapters of The Harbour would operate as separate non-profit organizations with its own board of directors and local financial supports with the benefit of a licensed package of services from EDFC to efficiently move forward.
Each new non-profit Chapter would readily become operational by using EDFC’s innovative and established service model, saving years of individual efforts to develop a separate approach to addressing eating disorders. Best of all, those in need would more quickly have a place to receive an established program of treatment and support. Through regularly scheduled online conferences with The Harbour-London and other Chapters, advances, successes and challenges would be shared and discussed for the benefit al all.
Each Chapter of The Harbour would be operated locally according to standards established in a Licensing Agreement. A Chapter’s operation would be based on three financial pillars, namely: charitable donations, co-payment agreements with individual patients, sponsors and/or insurers, government grants and other supports. While we are not in a position to offer individual chapters financial support immediately, our licensed model will provide significant savings by learning from EDFC’s years of development work in creating its innovative model of care and operating experience. Chapter Agreements would transfer the social enterprise model, patient assessment protocols, operational systems and participation in research programs.
It should not be overlooked that as a network of Chapters, working together rather than in individual silos, will increase our opportunities for our joint support from Canadian corporations, operating grants from provincial and the federal governments, other institutions, and high-wealth individuals touched by a challenging eating disorder in their families.
