Center for Change

We are excited to celebrate Cali Teague, our new RTC Swing Lead at Center for Change Orem!

Cali has been an incredible part of our team, and we are thrilled to recognize her in this new leadership role. She has a natural ability to build meaningful rapport with patients, leads by example, and consistently shows kindness and compassion to everyone around her.

Cali studied psychology and contemporary dance at Brigham Young University and brings her passion for helping others into the work she does every day.

Outside of Center for Change, Cali enjoys life in Springville with her husband, their 4-year-old daughter, their new puppy, and a baby on the way this fall! She also helps her husband run a landscaping company, loves visiting parks with her daughter, singing in the car, and watching first responder shows.

We are grateful for Cali’s dedication, warmth, and the positive impact she continues to have on our patients and team. Congratulations, Cali! 💙

Recovery isn't built on one big breakthrough, it's built on hundreds of small, courageous moments.

What's one win you're celebrating this week? It doesn't have to be big. In fact, the smallest victories are often the ones that matter most.

As summer activities ramp up, many people feel increased pressure around appearance, food, and body image.

This week, challenge yourself to focus on experiences instead of appearance:
☀️ Enjoy the gathering.
☀️ Make the memory.
☀️ Be present with the people you love.

You deserve a summer filled with connection, not comparison.

Many people wait until they feel "sick enough" to seek treatment. The truth is that everyone deserves support, no matter where they are in their journey.

Recovery doesn't require hitting rock bottom. It starts with taking one step toward help.
