The Haven Women's Refuge

Resettlement Support

Leaving the safety of a refuge environment can often be a daunting experience. The Haven offers Resettlement support to help women and children make the transition from refuge to independent living.

The Haven is able offer practical support with:
	Claiming benefits
	Assistance with furnishing a house
	Changing a child's school

This service is available to those residing within The Haven refuges. When the time comes to move on, Haven staff are available to support women with accepting a tenancy from the Council or a Housing Association or the decision to live with family/friends. We are able to offer support whilst clients are in the process of settling into their new homes. If ongoing support is required after clients have left The Haven, referrals can be made to the Community Advocacy Support Service.
