The Haven Retreat

Three weeks each month, The Younique Foundation hosts female survivors of childhood sexual abuse at The Haven Retreat. From Monday to Thursday, these women gather in one of our locations (Utah or Georgia) to learn, reflect, and rejuvenate. At the retreat, you can participate in a variety of activities to help you heal from the trauma of sexual abuse.

Why The Haven Retreat Works

The more varied the support you get, the more likely you are to heal successfully.
At The Haven Retreat, our goal is to provide support in three key ways.

EDUCATION

Understanding trauma and learning strategies to manage its impact are at the root of healing. We provide classes and tools to manage the impact.

EXPERIENCE

Holistic approaches to recovery are usually most effective, so we provide a variety of healing activities including exercise to help with trauma recovery.

COMMUNITY

Encouragement can come from relationships with others—no one understands the healing journey as well as another survivor.

Faces of Survivors

The haven retreat wasn’t a quick fix. Those don’t exist. But it was an opportunity to rest, learn, and share in a very safe place. I learned I am strong. I am beautiful. I am worthy. And even though the journey to healing is long, hard and lots of work, I have the tools I need, and that’s dangerous in the hands of a woman who, as a child, has already survived hell on earth. I’ve come so far, and I’m not going back!

Our Message to Survivors

At The Younique Foundation, we want all survivors to find healing so that they can reach their full potential rather than being defined by events from their past. The Haven Retreat is for you. It’s to help you reclaim hope in yourself and your future. No matter where you are on your healing journey, we feel blessed to be a part of your life.
