Youth Recovery Program (Offered Online)

Guided by a multi-disciplinary team of eating disorder professionals, we are launching a multi-week youth recovery group for those experiencing disordered eating. Enjoy the convenience of virtual access and the opportunity to explore a new way of looking at movement, nourishment and building a toolkit with strategies for recovery.

This program is specifically designed to address challenges many youths are experiencing, with tailored evidence-based content and processing available in an online closed group that allows space for learning and integration between each session. This group is open to youth 12-18 years of age and is free of charge for Saskatchewan residents.

When: Monday evenings 7-9pm (CLOSED GROUP):

Starting November 13, 2024 (4 week series)

Who: Saskatchewan residents between the ages of 12-18 - While we invite all new and returning participants to this program, it would be very beneficial to also sign up for our 1-day youth retreat!

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.

A self-paced online caregiver workshop will be available soon!

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.
