A PLACE TO HEAL, GROW & BEGIN AGAIN
OUR PROGRAM
THE NEED
Real women. Real struggles. Real hope.
Most women who come to Destiny Haven arrive carrying deep pain.
Many are aged 25–45
Two in three are mothers
Over 90% are unemployed
Almost half have attempted suicide
Most have been in the mental health system
They’ve experienced trauma, abuse, addiction, or self-harm. Many have had contact with the justice system.
But none of that defines them.
We see more. We see Diamonds—women of strength, value and potential. With the right care and community, their true brilliance shines.
OUR APPROACH
We don’t offer quick fixes. We walk with women for the long-haul.
Destiny Haven is a 12-month live-in recovery program. A family-style home where women feel safe, seen and supported.
We help women face the why behind addiction, trauma and life-controlling issues. And we help them rebuild—stronger, freer, and full of purpose.
What makes us different?
Women only. Because recovery looks different for women.
Whole-person care. Emotional, spiritual, physical and practical.
Tailored and paced. Every journey is personal.
Rooted in love. Faith-led. Strength-based. Grounded in truth and grace.
Key pillars of the program
Our program centres on two clear outcomes:
Emotional and psychological wellness
Practical life skills for independence
Every part of the program supports these.
EMOTIONAL & PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS
Healing starts on the inside.
Many of the women who come to Destiny Haven have never felt truly safe.
They’ve learned to survive but not how to trust, express or process what’s underneath.
This pillar of the program helps women:
Understand the root of their behaviours
Begin to break cycles of trauma and addiction
Learn how to regulate emotions and set boundaries
Rebuild identity, self-worth and relationships
What this includes:
Weekly, confidential sessions with qualified counsellors who guide women through their personal healing journey.
One-on-one counselling
Weekly topics include boundaries, co-dependency, grief, trauma, addiction cycles and emotional regulation.
Group Therapy
Many women carry stories too deep or raw to name. Through painting, drawing, and creative expression in weekly sessions, they begin to release what's been held inside.
Art Therapy
Personalised, self-paced work tailored to each woman’s experiences, strengths and needs. These modules help women unpack past patterns, build emotional awareness, and learn healthy tools for life and relationships.
Learning modules
PRACTICAL LIFE SKILLS
A new life needs new tools.
Recovery doesn’t end with emotional healing.
Women need the tools and confidence to build a sustainable life beyond Destiny Haven.
This pillar of the program helps women:
Regain independence
Manage real-world responsibilities
Set and achieve personal goals
Reconnect with their children, families or communities
What this includes:
Each woman receives tailored support in areas like parenting, legal issues, housing, finances and education. Through mentoring, we walk alongside her - refining character, exploring goals, and building a strong foundation for the future.
Mentoring
Women take ownership of daily routine and rhythms with everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, gardening and laundry to build structure and shared responsibility. When a woman arrives, she’s paired with a ‘buddy’, someone further along in the program who offers support, guidance and encouragement as she settles in.
Daily Rhythms
Women are supported to care for their bodies as part of the recovery journey. This includes gentle fitness, movement, rest, and healthy routines.
Health and wellness
Optional space to explore a personal relationship with God and discover hope beyond the past.
Faith and spiritual reflection
WORK READINESS & SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
As women rebuild their inner world, we also help them prepare for what’s next.
Through our social enterprises, women gain hands-on experience, real-world skills and a renewed sense of purpose.
It’s more than job training. It’s about confidence, responsibility and finding joy in meaningful work.
Healing creates purpose. Purpose creates momentum.
