BridgePoint is a residential program, meaning that healing extends beyond structured group sessions. Living in community offers powerful opportunities for reflection, connection, and shared learning. Within a supportive group environment, participants explore their experiences, foster belonging, and build mutual support. We understand that struggling with an eating disorder can be lonely and painful—some of us have been there. Our team brings a diverse range of strengths and resources to support you. Thank you for taking this step toward recovery.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the building. Participants are welcome to keep personal devices and use them during breaks or personal time. However, devices are not permitted in group rooms or at the dining table, to help maintain a distraction-free, connected, and supportive environment.
Our goal is to provide a restful, comfortable environment that supports your healing and personal reflection throughout the program. All rooms are generally single occupancy, unless alternative arrangements have been made in advance. Each room includes all linens and has a private washroom for your comfort and privacy.
In addition to the in-room facilities, participants have access to:
A shared shower room with individual stalls
A private tub room available for use during personal time
Size inclusive towels are provided
Confidentiality is a foundational part of creating a safe and trusting environment at BridgePoint. Participants are expected to respect the privacy of others by keeping anything shared in groups or in community strictly confidential.
This includes:
Not sharing the names, stories, or experiences of other participants outside the program
Avoiding photos, videos, or recordings of others without explicit consent
Honouring the group space as a judgment-free and private environment
Our team also upholds strict confidentiality standards, in accordance with professional and ethical guidelines. Exceptions to confidentiality include situations where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or where disclosure is legally required.
By participating in this program, you are agreeing to help create and maintain a respectful and confidential space for healing.
