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.

At The Haven Retreat, our goal is to provide support in three key ways.

EDUCATION

Understanding trauma and learning to manage its impact are needed for healing.

EXPERIENCE

We provide a variety of activities to help with trauma recovery and healing.

COMMUNITY

No one understands trauma and healing like a fellow survivor.

ELIGIBILITY

Any adult woman who was sexually abused at or before age 18 is eligible to attend. Also, 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 significant withdrawals.

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.
