SENAD

SENAD was formed in 2003 to provide a seamless transitional journey for those who need support and specialist provision as children and into adulthood. Alongside adult care homes and a community support service we operate six residential special schools.

Our work in suicide prevention

We provide an Employee Assistance Programme for all staff that includes access to support and counselling 24/7, including a new online support tool for staff and line managers. Line managers and HR teams have received training around suicide prevention.

We work closely with multi-disciplinary teams and clinical leads in relation to young people in our services at risk of self-harm and suicide.

Our current priorities

Our priorities include fostering an open culture where all staff feel encouraged to discuss mental health, reducing stigma, and utilising a variety of tools to maintain well-being. We are committed to providing advice, training, and support to individuals experiencing mental health challenges or supporting others in similar situations. We prioritise the development of strategies to prevent and reduce self-harm within our client group.
