Haven Society
Haven Society is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the safety, integrity, and well-being of women, children, youth, and families. Established in 1978 and incorporated as a registered charity, it operates primarily in the mid-Vancouver Island region, with a focus on anti-violence initiatives, crisis support, and community education[1][2].
Mission and Philosophy
The organization's mission centers on fostering respectful and healthy communities through direct services, advocacy, and public education. Guided by feminist principles, Haven Society emphasizes equality, mutual respect, and the eradication of power imbalances that perpetuate violence. Key tenets include the belief that no one deserves abuse, violence has no place in relationships or society, and community involvement is essential to systemic change[1][2].

✨ Share this with someone who needs to see it. Not all abuse screams. Sometimes, it whispers. If someone uses guilt, fear, or emotional games to control you — that’s abuse too. If they isolate you from friends, make all the decisions, or make you question your memory… That’s abuse. You’re not overreacting. You’re not alone. #EndViolence #WomenSupportingWomen #HavenHouse #VanouverIsland #CommunitySupport #EndDomesticViolence #HaveSociety (fb)
