How can I access help?

If you are a Saskatchewan resident, you are eligible to attend programming for free under the Sask Health continuum of care. Recovery from an eating disorder is possible! The first step is recognizing that you’re struggling and you are not alone. Acknowledging that you have an eating disorder can be very difficult, so if you recognize you have a problem, you’re already on your way to getting better. Contact us or submit the your intake application forms today. * Unfortunately, we are not accepting out of of province applications at this time for our onsite programs or virtual retreat programs. Contact National Eating Disorder Information Center to get a listing of help in your area! *
How can I refer someone?

Please give us a call to discuss referring a patient to us. We are able to accept patients with disordered eating and diagnosed eating disorders. Participants are required to be medically stable in order to attend our onsite programs. We are not a medical facility. Those struggling with an eating disorder are able to attend the initial stages of programming without a referral. Saskatchewan residents are able to attend programming free of charge under the Sask. Health continuum of care. Participants are able to self-refer for retreats and will need Part B and C completed for modules. Looking for resources to use to get your patients started on the road to recovery? Check out this Eating Disorder Tool Kit for Primary Healthcare Professionals.
How can I support a friend or loved one?

It is usually very difficult for people with eating disorders to get better on their own. It is important that you find professional help and support for your loved one as soon as possible. Eating disorders are serious medical and psychological problems. Parents, siblings, and close friends play a significant role in guiding and supporting others. In many cases, individuals with eating disorders cannot recognize a need for help in themselves, and it takes a strong, caring individual to reach out. Most importantly, you need to know that there is hope. Recovery can be difficult — but it is possible. Feel free to contact us for support and information on how to support or to request more information. Consider attending a "Supporting Your Loved One with Eating Disorder Recovery" online 2-day workshop. These dates are scheduled intermittently throughout the year and a new self-paced course is coming soon!

Testimonials

I trust everyone and the confidentiality and the trust here. It's difficult at times, very emotional and it's hard dealing with a lot of feelings but it's what you have to do and it feels so better much and so supportive.

There's no comparison to anything else I've tried and it’s a real blessing and an opportunity to be able to come here and an opportunity not to be taken lightly. It's a privilege to be here and I know that I will leave here a different person.

I can identify the issues and accept them and be able to learn how to work with that. I think over time we can say goodbye to the eating disorder. There is freedom at the end of the tunnel, but it takes work.

It's not about being broken and getting fixed, it's that we are all individuals who have pain and we're learning how to cope in a very healthy way.

The fact that BridgePoint operates so differently than the traditional medical model was very refreshing, and proved to be vital to my experience and healing.
