HAVEN of the Dan River Region is a 501-C-3 non-profit organization set up for the purpose of raising awareness about domestic violence and sexual assault, providing services to meet the needs of victims, and providing a safe shelter for victims and their children.

Crisis Line

A 24-hour crisis line is available to provide information and support to victims and the community. All staff are trained to handle crisis calls. For information about available services, support, or crisis assistance, call 434-483-5482 or call the National Hotline at 800-799-7233.

Shelter

HAVEN of the Dan River Region (HDRR) provides shelter for all victims of intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual assault. The shelter is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Victims can call the agency phone number, 434-483-5482, and talk with the staff person on duty to arrange to come to the shelter, or call 911.

The Shelter at HAVEN of the Dan River Region (HDDR) is provided for women and children. Adult male victims will be provided shelter at an alternative site.

Support Groups

Support groups are provided for victims of sexual assault (SA), domestic violence (DV), and intimate partner violence (IPV). Sexual assault groups are for adults and children victims. One-on-one support is also provided for victims and their families.

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Advocacy

HDRR provides support for victims in the community and in the shelter. An advocate can offer information about protection orders, services available in the community, and court procedures. The advocate can attend court with victims and works with the Victim’s Witness program at the Commonwealth Attorney’s office when needed.

Sexual Violence (SV) Advocacy

HAVEN provides support and services for victims in the community and in the shelter who have been sexually assaulted. The SV advocate provides information and can accompany victims to court.

Community Education

HDRR has speakers who can attend churches, community groups, and other activities to speak about intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual violence as well as the services we offer.

We also provide activities in the community to educate and increase the awareness of citizens about the problems of intimate partner/domestic violence and sexual assault.
