Families & Youth

The Haven is inclusive and welcoming to families of all shapes and sizes, and we work with young people to help improve self-esteem, confidence, wellbeing and social connections.

Supporting Families

The Haven is inclusive and welcoming to families of all shapes and sizes. The Shore Church, which houses The Haven, has a long-standing commitment to supporting and welcoming families, ensuring that everyone feels included and supported.

Youth Work

The increasing numbers of young people post pandemic suffering and struggling with their mental health is widely and well documented. There are a huge number of young people on the borderline of mental health crisis. They are not unwell enough for the urgent and immediate and moderately well-funded intervention that is typically available, but close enough to crisis for their lives to be a daily struggle - with very little comprehension of why they are struggling - let alone how to fight it and turn their situations around. We make sure to work with young people to help improve self-esteem, confidence, wellbeing and social connections.

Early years

Families we support experience a range of difficulties. Their circumstances often have a detrimental effect on the parents’/carers’ and the children’s self-esteem, motivation and confidence leading the parents to have reduced capacity to parent effectively.
