Our mission is to help people heal from abuse as we work to end domestic violence and sexual assault through community education, intervention and primary prevention.

HAVEN in Lee County is a non-profit agency created in 1985 to provide safety and support for those victimized by domestic and sexual violence in or outside their homes and to educate the community about the issues of family violence and sexual assault. The name HAVEN is an acronym for Helping Abuse and Violence End Now. It embodies our mission to help hurting people heal from abuse.

HAVEN In Lee County is an agency based on empowerment. Our services empower clients to gain control over their lives. Our response to the increasing demand for support services to victims and families is to provide an array of services, which include emergency shelter, crisis intervention, and community education. In addition, HAVEN provides primary prevention education workshops that is aimed at stopping abuse before it HAPPENS.
