Community of Practice
Connecting people, strengthening care, and improving outcomes for eating disorder support across Saskatchewan.
A Community of Practice (CoP) is a network of individuals and organizations who come together to share knowledge, build skills, and strengthen collaboration.
BridgePoint is leading the development of a provincial Eating Disorder Community of Practice to:
- Improve coordination across services
- Share evidence-informed and lived experience knowledge
- Strengthen access to care across urban, rural, and remote communities
- Support providers, caregivers, and individuals with lived experience
