For Survivors of Sexual Abuse & Domestic Violence...
What We Do
Just some of the services that we help people with everyday...
Haven is a survivor – led organisation that offers confidential one to one counselling and support for female and male victims and survivors or anyone who has been affected (i.e: families /partners) by sexual abuse or domestic violence.
Haven offers both telephone and email support as well as fortnightly women’s support groups (12 sessions). We also have a monthly coffee drop –in for victims / survivors who otherwise would feel isolated or need information or advice.
Haven Network is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to become trustees, help in the office, or to help us fundraise. All monies raised go to develop and continue our much-needed counselling services in the community.
