Teao Canada

Established in April 2021, the Trauma and Embodiment Association of Ontario (TEAO Canada) is a nonprofit organization aiming to make a change within the mental health care system. One of Canada's perhaps first, processing centre for trauma and embodiment. A psychological first-aid training centre and embodiment referral hub for trauma. We will: • Provide youth and adults/families with fast access to high-quality services; • Identify and intervene in youth and adult mental health and addictions issues early through workshops, education and embodiment; • Close critical service gaps for vulnerable youth and adults, children and youth at key transition points, adults and those adults in remote and marginalized communities; • Create a community where all people have the opportunity to thrive, enjoying good mental health and well-being throughout their lifetime – a community where people with mental illness or addictions can recover and participate in welcoming, supportive, mindful and interactive communities; • Give more marginalized and vulnerable youth, adults and their families the services they need; more quickly, and more effectively to prevent and reduce the personal, social and economic costs of mental health and addictions problems; • Create awareness and education around typically unspoken mental health topics and stigmas; • Work to prevent suffering and support the road to recovery throughout the lifespan.
