HAVEN, Inc.

Mission: HAVEN is a champion to people who have experienced abuse. We provide safety, shelter, and assistance to victims and survivors in a free and confidential manner. Through education and advocacy, we support their journey of empowerment to achieve economic and emotional independence.

HAVEN has supported survivors of interpersonal abuse in Lincoln County for over 35 years. HAVEN advocacy has evolved during that time to meet the needs of community members experiencing the negative impacts of generational trauma that results from interpersonal abuse and violence. When people come to HAVEN, staff assist them to gain insights into what has happened to them, educate them about available options and resources for themselves and their families and potential ways to hold those who abuse them accountable. When clients people are able to feel safe and gain insights regarding their experiences, it allows their healing process to begin and amplifies their courage in taking back their lives.
