My child's CASSY counselor was patient, truly caring, and understood our child's need. My CASSY counselor is the best counselor I've ever had. She's one of the sweetest people I have in my life, and I enjoy spending time with her. Thank you for providing me a place where I can express my feelings without being judged; there is no other place that I feel safe to do that.
Our CASSY therapist is very good at praising students, leading age-appropriate activities/lessons, meeting with students one-on-one, responding to emails, showing students kindness and compassion, and is always checking in with me about lessons and progress. As a parent, I look back, and I'm not sure our daughter would have been able to finish the school year without CASSY's support.

Services
CASSY provides on-campus individual, family and group counseling sessions, crisis intervention and treatment, proactive mental health education, and peer mediation. We provide staff training on mental health issues and support staff in handling disconcerting situations they encounter in their classes or elsewhere on campus.
Our mission is to de-stigmatize mental health services and make supporting students' social and emotional well-being the norm in our local schools. We want to provide all students with the continuity of support they need, from the first day of kindergarten until they graduate from high school, to be successful in school and life.
CASSY stands firmly as an anti-racist organization. As mental health professionals, we have a responsibility to address and counter racism and discrimination in all its forms. We stand united to actively promote awareness, acceptance, and accountability and do our part to dismantle any existing systems fostering explicit or implicit racism.

I have watched CASSY grow from its start in 2009 to the robust organization it has become now. I have witnessed the transformative support CASSY clinicians can provide to students when they are in familiar school settings.
