CASC – Canadian Association for Spiritual Care

CASC/ACSS is the leading association of spiritual care and psychospiritual therapy in Canada. With over 1200 diverse members across Canada, CASC/ACSS embraces a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, with a special focus on spiritual and religious care. CASC/ACSS provides educational programs for those preparing to become Certified Spiritual Care Practitioners, Certified Psychospiritual Therapists, and Certified Supervisor Educators in a variety of institutional, community and private-practice settings.

The Centre for Education and Advancement of Spiritual Care is an active, growing and compassionate community that sees diversity as a gracious reflection of God’s creativity. We celebrate the range of human beings created in the image of God. The relationships among diverse members of the community enrich the collective life of members of the Kingdom of God, and we affirm the range of people and particular callings that we believe God has made. We recognize that we are better, individually and together, when we benefit from one another’s differences.

The Centre for Education and Advancement of Spiritual Care is committed to educating, supporting and resourcing the varied range of ministry contexts in which our spiritual caregivers serve.

In our educational mission, we welcome students from a diverse range of backgrounds to partner with us in the process of formation for ministry. The Centre for Education and Advancement of Spiritual Care does not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, colour, national or ethnic origin, physical or learning disability, or denominational affiliation in the administration of any of its programs or activities.

The Clinical Psychospiritual Education (CPE) program is open to all irrespective of race, gender, age, faith group, national origin, sexual orientation or physical ability.
