Our Team

Our Support Team

Drawing on each team member's experience and expertise to support autonomy.

At JADA, staff members with different backgrounds and expertise work on the front line of support for school refusal and hikikomori (social withdrawal).

From consultations with parents to direct support for children and young people, further education and social participation, we provide support tailored to each person's situation.
