For over 20 years, we’ve walked alongside individuals, whānau, communities, and systems navigating the impacts of suicide.
We were known as Clinical Advisory Services Aotearoa (CASA). Today, we are Te Aho — the weave that connects people and knowledge, grounded in whakapapa and guided by purpose.
We bring together the strength of:
to guide the journey towards an Aotearoa without suicide.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, have lost someone to suicide, or are supporting someone who might be suicidal — we are here to walk alongside you with respect and care.
We support organisations to:
Develop robust whole-of-organisation suicide prevention approaches
Build organisational capability to prevent suicide in the workplace.
Respond safely and compassionately after a suicide
We work with marae, hapū, and grassroots organisations to co-design community-led responses that reflect cultural values and real-world experience.
We provide system-level advice and practical tools that strengthen the knowledge, capability and confidence of people providing support and manaaki to others.
We offer training in:
Understanding and responding to self-harm
Suicide prevention and postvention
Suicide bereavement support
Critically conscious supervision
Tailored modules designed for your kaupapa and setting
As a national, trusted partner, we deliver consistent, clinically and culturally grounded work with impact. Our expertise helps shape services and systems that meet the needs of Aotearoa now — and into the future.
