You feel powerless...the Haven Project coming in fills the gap

The service has made a massive difference to the support the parents had and for [mum] it meant she had a voice

I don't think there would have been any changes without the Haven Project because the support has helped [mum] to understand and accept what was going on

I’ve been through the courts before with previous children without the Haven Project and I couldn’t cope, I took a severe overdose and was nearly sectioned. This time I’m planning for my future and have a better perception of relationships. I am now moving forward with my children, I’m getting support with my mental health, doing courses helping with my anxiety and confidence. I owe all these things to the Haven Project so from the bottom of my heart thankyou.

We see better outcomes for parents because of Haven’s involvement

After court there’s no plan for the parents. Having a plan with Haven has helped me stay on an even keel so I didn’t think “what’s the point”

As a solicitor I know that if Haven are involved, my client has been given every opportunity to make the changes they need for their child to come home
