T.E.A.C.H. is a consumer survivor initiative (CSI)
T.E.A.C.H. provides peer support throughout Halton for individuals 16 years and older who live with or have lived with mental health challenges
T.E.A.C.H. operates from a recovery philosophy which views a person with mental health challenges as a person, not a diagnosis, illness or label
All staff, volunteers, students and advisory committee members at TEACH have their own mental health challenges and have experience interacting with the mental health system |

| Spiral of Recovery |
T.E.A.C.H.’s logo is The Spiral
The Spiral represents the course of life
Life is unpredictable, there are ups and downs
When painful experiences happen, it may feel as though your life is spiraling out of control
It is important to remember that life is in constant flux
Things will eventually improve again, just as the spiral peaks up again even after its lowest point |
