About Dan's Legacy

Dan's Legacy provides trauma-informed and culturally sensitive counselling and life-skills programs to youth at risk in Metro Vancouver. These young people, aged 15 to 25, are at significant risk of overdose, self-harm, homelessness, and suicide. Dan's Legacy's therapy and outreach teams meet the youth where they are, there are minimal wait lists, and all the organization's services are free. In the past year, Dan's Legacy helped over 700 youth stabilize their mental health, and begin working towards their educational, employment and recovery goals.

Cook Training Program / Dan's Diner Social Enterprise

Dan's Legacy's Cook Training and Dan's Diner Social Enterprise job-skills programs provide clinically supported training in cooking skills to youth aging out of care, Indigenous youth, young women survivors of gendered abuse and new Canadians. The Cook Instructor, supported by Dan's Legacy's counselling and outreach team, works with a cohort of young adult students with various mental health challenges in the Cook Training program. Training is provided to the Cook Instructor from the counselling team to learn best practices in supporting youth with trauma-based mental health challenges.

Dan's Legacy knows that at-risk youth need opportunities to not only maintain their mental wellness but also grow and thrive in the community. The Dan's Legacy job-skills training programs are designed to provide youth with the training they need to work immediately in the hospitality industry, or move on to further post-secondary culinary skills training, eventually obtaining Red Seal Certification.

The entire program operates with clinical support from Dan's Legacy's therapists and social work/outreach teams, ensuring the youth have mental health counselling support before, during and after the training.
