Retreats - The first step - ages 16+

Participants (ages 16+) can self refer for a retreat but will need the support of a doctor and counsellor to attend Module 1 and Module 2. Medical and psychiatric stability are required for all onsite programs.

Retreats (virtual or onsite) are the gateway into BridgePoint programming. They offer participants the opportunity to meet team members and decide whether BridePoint's values, mission and philosophy align with their needs and objectives. The retreat will explore themes of vulnerability, distress tolerance, self-compassion, nutrition and the stories participants tell themselves.

This is an opportunity to tour our facilities, meet our staff, ask questions to determine if BridgePoint is the right fit for what you want for your recovery process. Retreats include:

In-depth assessment interview with our nursing team
Introduction to our program philosophy and recovery tools
Meal support in community
Small groups (8-10 participants) with individualized support
All meals and accommodations onsite

Testimonials

Eating disorders are a lifetime struggle and I strongly believe in building and maintaining a strong positive support system. I am so thankful for the BridgePoint programs for planting the seed of self-acceptance that I needed at that time to begin my road to recovery.

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.
