Haven Society provides shelter, counselling, and compassionate support to women, children, and families in the Nanaimo and Oceanside communities who are impacted by violence and abuse. You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
Haven Society provides a compassionate, respectful, and safe community for women, families, and individuals impacted by violence and abuse. We offer shelter, support services, education, and advocacy — and we walk alongside survivors every step of the way.
Whether you’re looking for a safe place to stay, someone to talk to, help navigating the justice system, or support for your children, Haven Society has programs and people ready to help. No police report is required. You can refer yourself. We’re here.
“I didn’t know where to turn. Haven Society gave me a safe place to stay, people who believed me, and the support I needed to start over. I don’t know where I’d be without them.”
A community grounded in respect, dignity, and equity, where everyone lives and thrives in a safe, supportive environment.
Haven Society is a registered charity serving Nanaimo and the Oceanside region. Every donation goes directly toward shelter, counselling, and crisis support for women and families who need it most.
Your generosity keeps our doors open — 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Join us for a walk to raise awareness about gender-based violence. Each step we take supports safety, hope, and healing for women, children, and families in our community. Together, we can make a meaningful difference — one step at a time.
