A safe place for women.
We provide a protective, faith-based environment that transforms the lives of women who have experienced domestic and sexual violence.
Join the Movement for Abie’s Haven
We’re on a mission to create Fort Wayne’s first short-term crisis home for women and children escaping domestic and sexual violence.
But we can’t do it alone. Learn more about our vision for Abie’s haven and join the movement of supporters ready to help women in need.
Look how far we’ve come! 👀
We can’t do this without a community of supporters like you. Thank you for getting us this far and for helping us keep going.
Our Vision
Jennifer’s Harbor exists to be a community leader in the prevention of domestic and sexual violence by being an advocate to the survivors and family members of those who are exploited & vulnerable, whether it be domestic violence, sexual assault or human trafficking, through raising awareness, providing emotional support, and ongoing life coaching.
Our Programs
Girls Night Chats
A weekly support group where we meet to do life together. It’s a safe place to share struggles, celebrate victories, and find support from other women who know what' you’re going through.
1:1 Coaching
Women often begin with 1:1 coaching. After an initial assessment, we provide comprehensive support for whatever the individual needs, including financial help, connecting to counseling or legal services, and more.
Education
We provide a comprehensive education program equipping churches to recognize and help victims of domestic violence, as well as education for teens and community members on healthy relationships.
Girlfriend Getaway
An overnight retreat where women can be pampered with things like manicures, massages, and great food while working through their self image, healing, and reclaiming their lives.
The Cove
Each evening begins with a family dinner where families can connect while engaging in fun activities. After dinner, Mom attends her group time and the kids attend age-appropriate classes where trained staff & volunteers safely care for and love children.
Life After the Storm
A 12-week program focused on healing after an abusive relationship.
Our Impact
We walk alongside women through a variety of programs and 1:1 crisis care services. In addition to providing support and services to individuals and families in need, we spearhead an education program for community members on the importance of healthy relationships, as well as a special education program for churches on how to recognize and respond to domestic violence.
