Eligibility

Any adult woman who was sexually abused at or before age 18 is eligible to attend The Haven Retreat. Participants must be able to safely live in a social environment for four days with a group of other survivors and abstain from drugs and alcohol without withdrawals. This retreat is specifically designed to serve the woman who experienced trauma, but is functioning well across multiple areas in her life. She may be working, raising a family, and contributing to her community. Despite these successes, she is still affected, often deeply, by what happened in her past.

The Haven Retreat is not a crisis intervention program. We encourage women who are struggling with significant untreated mental health symptoms, active drug and alcohol addiction, or homelessness to seek other professional help prior to applying.

For Medical Professionals

The Haven Retreat is a four-day, psychoeducational experience for adult female survivors of childhood/adolescent sexual abuse which occurred at or before the age of 18. The purpose of The Haven Retreat is to provide a space to help survivors build community, provide education related to the effects of childhood sexual trauma, and facilitate experiential activities to address the effects of trauma on the brain and body. All activities are optional but highly encouraged. Participants are not required to discuss their abuse.

This retreat is specifically designed to serve women who, despite their trauma, are functioning well across multiple areas of their lives. A prospective retreat participant may be working, raising a family, and contributing to her community. Despite these successes, she is still affected by what happened in her past.

Due to the generosity of our founders and donors, the retreat is free. Participants are responsible for the costs of traveling to and from the retreat property. The Haven Retreat is NOT a crisis intervention or treatment program and individual therapy is NOT provided. Each application is carefully screened to determine if the retreat is the right fit, or right timing, for an applicant. The Haven Retreat is not a replacement for therapeutic services. A Younique Foundation therapist or registered nurse may reach out to an applicant’s therapist or physician for a collateral contact to gather more information about the applicant’s readiness to attend the retreat.
