The Haven - Nepean Women's Shelter

What an empowering evening at Reclaim the Night! 🌙✨ We stood together to affirm women’s right to move freely and safely through public spaces at night, without the fear of violence. Let’s keep pushing for change! #ReclaimTheNight #empoweringwomen #endviolence #endviolenceagainstwomen #endviolenceagainstchildren #domesticviolence #penrithcommunity

Did you know? In Australia, 1 in 4 women have experienced violence by an intimate partner since the age of 15. This violence also impacts children, with 1 in 6 children exposed to domestic violence in their homes. Supporting women’s shelters 🏠 and services is vital in helping survivors rebuild their lives. If you or someone you know needs help, reach out to 📞1800RESPECT (1800 737 732) for confidential support 24/7. Together, we can raise awareness, support survivors, and work towards ending this crisis. #EndViolence #SupportSurvivors #FamilySafety #Australia #empoweringwomen #endviolenceagainstwomen #penrithcommunity (Sources: Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, PMC Australia)

We are truly part of a wonderful community and we love seeing all the support of the Penrith Panthers as they head in to today's Grand Final. In the spirit of this community let's cheer on the Panthers today and say no to domestic violence at the same time. Typically Grand Final day is a day that sees an increase, up to 40%, in Domestic and Family Violence incidents. If you require immediate assistance call Police or Ambulance on 000 or Link2Home on 1800 152 152. If you require general domestic violence support please contact the DV Line on 1800 656 463.

When kids ask to play, they're really saying they want to connect. This simple plea echoes a deep need for bonding and interaction. At The Haven, we help mums reestablish that sense of safety and connection. Through modeling, we show that it's okay to sit down, pause, and play. These moments of play are not only safe but are also some of the most joyful parts of being a parent and a family. Rediscovering the fun and connection through play is essential for rebuilding relationships and fostering a sense of security. 💖 #PlayAndConnection #FamilySupport #ChildDevelopment #JoyOfParenting #SafePlay
