Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Counseling, Education, Mental Health, Mental Health & Crisis Intervention
Mission: Sena's roots lie in the hospice movement, where those who worked in hospice discovered that the concepts and programs that worked so well with hospice patients and their families were also applicable to those who did not meet hospice criteria. Unlike the hospice programs, Sena's programs are directed to people in all stages of life. Sena Foundation offers two main areas of education and training: programs aimed toward allowing individuals to experience death/dying, grief and loss issues in their own lives, and programs devoted to preparing individuals to become involved in the care of those experiencing grief and loss. The implementation of all programs involving care for those experiencing grief and loss focuses on the development of community volunteer and peer support, allowing care to be given without cost. Sena Foundation is supported by tax-deductible donations, memorials, and grants. Sena Foundation is guided by a board of directors and staffed by the founder, Bill Schaefer, and other volunteers.
