The TEACH Project
The Training Enhancement in Applied Cessation Counselling and Health (TEACH) Project is designed to ensure that individuals in the public, private and non-profit sectors who provide counselling services to tobacco users obtain knowledge and skill in the delivery of intensive cessation interventions.

Our supplementary courses offer counselling approaches for special populations such as aboriginal people, sexually diverse and gender diverse people, youth, people with concurrent disorders, people who use other substances; and pregnant women.
