Recreational Activities and Programming

Respite for Caregivers; Fun for Our Kids!

The children, youth, and adults in our programs face significant challenges with their daily lives. Despite this, they have great capacity to have fun and experience joy.  

Through the generous support of our donors, Safehaven provides a wide range of community activities and therapeutic programming for all of our clients. These include clown therapy, pet therapy, sporting events, concerts, trips to museums and anything else we know they will enjoy. We also celebrate all their important milestones from birthday parties to holiday celebrations and graduations. We embrace our clients as members of our family and surround them with love and support through all of life’s moments.  

If you’d like to learn more about how to get involved and support these activities for our clients, please contact philanthropy@safehaven.to 

“One of my favourite Safehaven memories was when the staff surprised me with tickets to see Jason Derulo in concert. The staff knew how much I love him and they reached out to the concert venue to get tickets. It really proved that the staff had taken the time to get to know me, and it was so much fun!”
