CASSE responds to psychological need and suffering. We work with people and communities at their most vulnerable to change minds and save lives.
The first step on this journey is to ask: ‘how can we be helpful?’.
Our primary goal is to support and think together about how to develop secure relations and psychological wellbeing for today and the future. We draw on the psychoanalytic principles of listening, thinking and sharing as a way to rebuild lives and sustain change.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER TO CHANGE MINDS AND SAVE LIVES!
Your workplace and community can now benefit from this approach.
CASSE is now offering psychologically(analytic)-informed and culturally-informed half or full day training workshops that are both interactive and accessible.

All CASSE’s workshops are based in clinical psychology and include psychoanalytic paradigms. Psychoanalysis can be very practical. It is a body of knowledge and method of therapy which helps to deepen understanding and change one’s mind and heart. In these workshops, we bring a mindful analytic perspective, and apply it and use it in organisational and community settings. In this space, CASSE encourages interactive workshops which work with your stories and experiences.
Culturally-informed training is understanding the cultural beliefs and practices of the cultural group to community problems. In these workshops, mental health issues are explored and understood in the context of the culture they are being experienced in – taking into account both historical and current cultural contexts. These sessions are led by Aboriginal people.
Mentalisation is a psychoanalytic approach which focuses on the underlying mental states of mind in the context of intimate, responsive, secure attachment relationships and focuses on self and other.
