Cassandra Tinning

Director, Youth at Risk Project - ACT Health Directorate, ACT

I’m a Social Worker who has been working therapeutically with children and young people who have experienced complex trauma since 2000. For many of those years I was a counsellor, then the clinical supervisor, and then the operational manager in a multidisciplinary health service in Canberra for children and young people who have experienced child abuse. I am currently a policy director for the Youth at Risk project for ACT Health, which aims to support collaboration in the youth mental health sector and establish a trauma service to support young people with complex needs.  I have a passion for collaborative and therapeutic work with children and families, and special interest in working with children with harmful sexual behaviours.

I have a wonderful family, including my Poodle cross Corgi “Winnie the Poogi”

The Mental Health Professionals’ Network (MHPN) respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri and the Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation, the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which our office is situated. We also acknowledge Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
