We know it can be difficult to access high-quality education and training around eating disorders—especially in Saskatchewan. That’s why BridgePoint is working hard behind the scenes to change this.

Contact us for your training needs—whether you're a school, clinic, non-profit, or health team, we can co-create in-person or virtual learning solutions tailored to you.

We also encourage you to explore these incredible self-paced courses created by Body Brave as part of the Body Peace Collaborative—a digital hub co-developed by BridgePoint, Body Brave, EDNS, and NIED. This award-winning platform fosters collaboration and knowledge-sharing between individuals with lived experience, clinicians, caregivers, and community partners.

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.
