OUR mission
Terminator Foundation’s mission is to transform the lives of individuals with mental health and addiction challenges by strengthening their recovery using our Activity-Based Recovery Therapy Program. ABRT promotes long-term recovery, self-efficacy, and self-actualization by utilizing the three disciplines of triathlon: swimming, biking, and running.
Training and completing a Triathlon challenges the belief system that we can attain what was previously thought unattainable. Turning despair into hope, doubt into belief and challenging participants to rise to the occasion and choose recovery every day. The truth is you can recover.

What stands out the most for me with Vanisha, is her hope, drive and determination. She never gave up. A victim of child sexual abuse and a recovering alcoholic herself, she not only persevered through what would cripple most parents but she rose above and started a Foundation having had no experience or guidance, but a dream, and belief that as a community we can use compassion, awareness and education to end the stigma.

Vanisha Breault is a warrior who battled her demons and came out even stronger on the other side! Vanisha is a powerful speaker who evokes a full range of emotions and gives you an incredible perspective on the battle against addiction. Warning! Listening to Vanisha share her story will make you laugh, cry and be truly amazed at the power of the human spirit!

The Terminator Program utilizes education, awareness and compassion to make a difference in youths’ lives including their families and communities. Through Vanish’s non-judgemental approach, the lives of our youth struggling with mental health through addiction can find the positive engagement, challenge and growth in self-esteem they need to overcome the challenges that hold them back from recovery and limit their potential. She is revolutionizing addiction recovery through sports coaching and peer support, including team training, physical strength, endurance and triathlon participation. She brings the tenets of “IronMan” to go beyond one’s limitations to help transform young lives!
