Eden Dales

Eden is one of the most dedicated healthcare providers I have ever met. The area where I’ve worked with her directly is on her teachings for healthcare providers and lawyers on trauma informed care/practices. This is an area that so many people need further education on and Eden is leading the field, taking the initiative to create her own comprehensive, engaging and educational trainings. It’s so important for healthcare providers and lawyers working with those with brain injuries to come at their services from a trauma informed lens, and Eden is singlehandedly spreading that knowledge, which has a broad impact in this space. She is very deserving of this recognition.

Eden is a brilliant social worker and manager. She transformed her service from a solo practice into a comprehensive, trauma-focused team. She leads and supervises the team with sensitivity, professionalism, and creativity. Culturally sensitive, she makes space in her heart for each client and team member. She cares genuinely! Eden passionately teaches her team, drawing on her extensive experience and knowledge. She customizes goals and treatment plans for each client. Overall, she is an ideal candidate for the healthcare provider of the year award.

Eden’s profound dedication to her clients and community is unmistakable. From her fundraising efforts to her tireless advocacy for trauma-informed care, Eden consistently goes beyond her practice to create meaningful change. What strikes me most is her commitment to nurturing the next generation of healthcare workers. She’s not just providing excellent care today, but actively building a stronger, more compassionate healthcare system for tomorrow. Eden truly embodies what it means to be an integral part of our community, and her impact reaches far beyond any single interaction or case. She absolutely deserves this recognition.

If you have worked with Ms. Eden Dales, you already know how well-deserved this is. Her dedication, compassion, and the way she supports her clients and the EDSW Team is truly inspiring. She has worked incredibly hard to get where she is, and it’s so great to see her being recognized not just by us, but by the entire community.

She has built a strong reputation in this field — not just as a skilled therapist, but as someone who truly cares and makes a difference in people’s lives. I am fortunate to work with and for her.

Eden is so deserving of this nomination and recognition. A consummate professional who apart from running a successful social work practice – helping and supporting clients and families; she gives back so much to the community (her bio says it all) and the people she serves. Eden is extremely empathetic, a visionary in her work, collaborative, inspires her clients and colleagues, approachable, extremely passionate about what she does, mentoring / supporting others and client / family centred. Congratulation Eden and always a pleasure to work with!

Congratulations Eden on this wonderful deserving nomination!!!
There’s an old saying that goes “When LIFE gives you LEMONS make LEMONADE”. That’s easier said than done because real LEMONS are truly bitter. LIFE did give me lemons, it also gave me the whole entire lemon tree, actually 8 lemons trees! So how do I make lemonade out of hundreds of lemons “grief” Life did give me lemons and life also gave me EDEN. I had the lemons and Eden had the tools “recipe.” She used all her tools and I gave her all my lemons “grief”. And together we added (water “tears”), (sugar “love”), and (ice “fear”) and we reframed those sour lemons into a sweet and refreshing summer beverage LEMONADE!!! Eden with your guidance, I was able to find sweetness on the other side of Grief. Eden you showed me how to make lemonade by reflecting on my loss and understanding the emotions that come with it. Eden you helped me reframe the grief of losing my husband into a journey of growth, joy and purpose. Eden I am eternally grateful for all your guidance, your words of wisdom will forever and always be a blessing!
“We Rise By Lifting Others”
Eden you are forever and always the “E” on my lemon
