About TEACH
What is the TEACH Project?
The Training Enhancement in Applied Cessation Counselling and Health (TEACH) project is geared toward training health care professionals in the public, private and non-profit sectors who provide counselling services to people who use tobacco. The program is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills in the delivery of intensive tobacco cessation interventions. Our General Brochure provides an overview of the TEACH project.
Project Goal
The goal of the project is to reduce the prevalence of tobacco use in Ontario by increasing identification and treatment capacity. TEACH is funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion in Ontario, as part of Smoke-Free Ontario in order to offer accessible, clinically relevant curricula to a broad range of health practitioners.
Becoming Part of a Community of Practice
One of the objectives of the TEACH Project is to develop and maintain sustainable knowledge transfer and exchange among professionals in direct clinical practice. Participants who fulfill the TEACH Project requirements become part of a provincial Community of Practice group, and will have the opportunity to participate in our bi-monthly CoP teleconferences, receive regular updates, and network with colleagues who are also engaged in cessation counselling. There is also a CoP Listserv for practitioners who complete our Core Course. Please email TEACH@camh.net for details.
