Haven Society

At Haven Society we believe…

·        No one deserves to be abused.

·        Violence has no place in relationships or in society.

·        Relationship and societal violence arise from an imbalance and misuse of power and control.

·        Equality, mutual respect, self-esteem, and interdependence are values that foster healthy relationships and a healthy society.

·        Education and awareness are essential for prevention.

·        Women and children are diverse and have a right to have their differences respected and supported.

·        The community has a right and a responsibility to become involved.

·        We recognize that an individual’s capacity for change is influenced by the broader social, economic and political environment.

Our purpose is….

·        To provide and maintain shelter for women of all ages, who have been physically, sexually and/or emotionally abused and for their children.

·        To provide a range of programs and services including information, counselling, crisis support and advocacy services for women, children, youth and families who are experiencing physical, sexual, and/or psychological violence in their lives.

·        To develop and provide innovative programs and services that reflect feminist principles.

·        To provide other related services to individuals affected by violence in accordance with a commitment to diversity.

·        For over 30 years, we have been the leader in creating a healthy and supportive environment
