Hi, I’m Cassandra Fletcher-Dunham, Director of Wahroonga Hill and an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 15 years’ experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health challenges.
I hold a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work (Advanced Practice), and I’m also a Sessional Academic at Charles Sturt University, where I support the learning and development of future social workers.
