What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

The opportunity lies in addressing and preventing domestic violence/intimate partner violence (DV/IPV), advocating for and assisting abuse victims, establishing an online relationship recovery center, offering relationship coaching, and providing DV/IPV resources and support groups. Wind Haven seeks to tackle issues related to domestic violence advocacy and awareness by providing support and relief to those affected. Currently, we offer an accessible online relationship recovery center, a private online DV/IPV support group, domestic violence resources, and trauma-informed pastoral care and relationship coaching. In the future, we plan to establish domestic violence recovery centers nationwide and globally, focusing on providing assistance and support to women and children, and military families experiencing relationship deterioration and abuse due to PTSD and inadequate support.
