Our Story

About BridgePoint

What began as a pilot project in 1997 has grown into a nationally recognized program for eating disorder recovery. BridgePoint Center for Eating Disorder Recovery has positively impacted thousands of lives and continues to evolve to meet the needs of individuals across Saskatchewan.

BridgePoint now offers both onsite and virtual program options, providing individual and group-based support for those experiencing disordered eating and eating disorders—including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED).

We are a provincially approved, non-profit organization working in partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. Our residential program provides 24/7 support in a safe, welcoming environment, with 8 single-occupancy rooms. Our expanding suite of virtual services ensures people across the province can access care, connection, and recovery—no matter where they live.

 

Treaty Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that BridgePoint is located on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respects to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this land and reaffirm our commitment to one another. Treaty 6 encompasses the traditional territories of many Nations, including the Cree, Dene, Nakota, Saulteaux, and Ojibwe peoples. We are committed to honouring the spirit of Reconciliation and Treaty 6 in our work and relationships.

Holistic Healing

BridgePoint takes a biopsychosocial approach to eating disorder recovery, recognizing that healing involves the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. Our programs are designed to support the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—by addressing not just behaviors, but the deeper experiences and systems that influence them.

We do not believe people are broken, and we don’t aim to “fix” them. Instead, we believe that participants carry strength and wisdom within themselves, and our role is to help them reconnect with that inner resilience. Recovery is not a quick fix or a straight path—it’s a process that unfolds over time, in different ways for different people. Because of this, we don’t define success in a single way. For some, success might mean eating regularly again. For others, it could be reducing harmful behaviors, managing distressing thoughts, or simply showing up for support. At BridgePoint, we see success in the form of courage, connection, personal growth, and renewed hope that lead to an increased quality of life.

We understand that disordered eating is often a coping mechanism—a way to manage emotional pain, trauma, or internal conflict. Rather than focusing only on food or symptoms, we explore what’s underneath the behavior. This may include past trauma, grief, perfectionism, high expectations, or struggles with identity and belonging. By supporting individuals to work through these root causes and build compassionate, sustainable coping tools, many find that the behaviors tied to disordered eating naturally begin to lessen—and may eventually no longer be needed.
