Youth Recovery Program (Offered Online)

This group is dedicated exclusively to the treatment of youth experiencing eating disorders or disordered eating. Guided by a multi-disciplinary team, this 5-week program combines the convenience of virtual access with the same benefits of in-person groups to provide meaningful discussion, tools, and strategies to support youth who are experiencing disordered eating. A formal diagnosis is not required to join.

This program is specifically designed to address challenges many youths are experiencing, with tailored evidence-based content available in an online closed group that allows space for learning and integration between each session.

We ask for a commitment to attending all sessions.

Family and Caregiver Program (Offered Online)

Are you a parent, spouse or friend of someone who suffers from an eating disorder? Do you struggle with their behavior and/or setting limits and/or how to respond to their emotions?

Inspired by Emotion-Focused Family Therapy – and with a healthy dose of humor - this evidence-based workshop will introduce practical skills to strengthen relationships, increase cooperation and respond to strong emotional reactions, including expressions of worry, anger, hopelessness, even silence. Parents and caregivers will learn to navigate and guide their loved ones experiencing big feelings, emotional dysregulation, and/or mental health issues.

Different from other mainstream parenting models, EFFT is rooted in a deep belief in the healing power of families. The model provides parents the tools to restore connection in their relationship with their child, and feel more empowered when met with tough parenting situations at home. Parents will also be supported to identify, work through, and overcome many obstacles that surface through the journey of emotional and behavioral change.

This online variation of the 2-day Caregiver Workshop allows space for learning and integration between each session.

Where: From the comfort of your own home, you can jump on into our inclusive virtual group room and access our digital e-learning platform.

Who: Free program for Saskatchewan residents who are supporting someone with disordered eating or an eating disorder (family, siblings, friends, teachers, etc!)

What do I need to participate? Access to the internet and a device with a camera and microphone is optimal, but please let us know if this is a barrier to accessing the program.

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.
