Why Contribute to This Initiative
By supporting Mhaven, you’re strengthening a coordinated network that supports survivors, people seeking to change their behaviour, allies, and mental health professionals with safe, clear options and resources.
Your contribution helps create and further trauma- and violence-informed tools, training, and pathways that make it easier for people to find the right support when they need it most.
We Bridge Hospital & Community Services
With shared protocols and governance, Mhaven connects hospital-based mental health care with community services so people experience a more seamless continuum of care.
We Serve Under-Represented Groups
Mhaven’s work focuses on people and communities who are often overlooked in intimate partner violence and mental health care systems, helping ensure supports reflect diverse identities, relationships, cultures, and lived realities.
We are Person-Centred & Accessible by Design
Mhaven designs and broadcast tools and resources that are low-barrier, trauma- and violence-informed, and respectful of people’s dignity, so contributors and users can engage in the ways that feel safest and most useful to them.
Donate

Contributions fund platform development, content creation, and ongoing research and evaluation, so support keeps getting more responsive, practical, and safe over time.
