60。 The Duffs39。 struggle led then to connect other families with the quality of care they received in the United Sates. In late 2013, hey founded the WaterStone Clinic, a private eating disorder center in Toronto. Since the facility opened, 170 clients have received treatment. They take yoga, do art therapy and participate in meal preparation, building reallife skills with a support team. Programs run weekdays from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m., and notably, so far WaterStone has no waiting list. But this approach is costly: approximately $650 per day. Realizing that the price tag puts WaterStone out of reach for many, the Duffys created the WaterStone Foundationa charity that provides aid to patients who can39。t afford treatment the following year. Candidates are assessed by two mittees that make a decision based on clinical and financial need. Since 2014, the foundation has helped 100 people. Duffy also wants to change the public system. In June of this year, the foundation awarded $170, 000 to four Ontario hopitals offering creative treatment to eating disorder patients. Yes, people need private treatment, she says, but it39。s important to help out on a broader scale, too.(1)Why did Duffy think they were fortunate?
