Trauma-informed consultation & training
Haven Strategies offers customized training, survivor-centered consultation, and professional development for organizations doing the hard work of responding to domestic violence, sexual violence, and trauma.
Work with me"Organizations don't fail survivors because they don't care. They fail because they haven't been given the right tools."
— Courtney Helly, Haven Strategies
About
I'm Courtney Helly, founder of Haven Strategies. I've spent over a decade working in and alongside the domestic violence and sexual violence field — as a direct service provider, a systems thinker, and someone who has sat with survivors, trained staff, and navigated the complicated intersections of advocacy, law enforcement, courts, and healthcare.
What I bring isn't a generic curriculum. It's a grounded, survivor-informed perspective built from real work — and a commitment to helping organizations move from good intentions to meaningful practice.
I work with nonprofits, coordinated community response teams, legal and court systems, healthcare providers, and multidisciplinary teams who want to do better — and need support to get there.
What I bring
Services
Every engagement is tailored to your organization, your team, and where you are right now. No off-the-shelf curricula. No one-size-fits-all approach.
Half-day, full-day, or multi-session trainings built around your team's specific needs, gaps, and goals. Designed for DV/SA organizations, CCR teams, courts, healthcare, and law enforcement.
Conference keynotes, panel presentations, and professional development sessions on domestic violence, trauma, survivor-centered practice, and systems response.
Organizational assessment, program development, and implementation support for agencies looking to strengthen their survivor-centered approach and trauma-informed culture.
Working with leadership and staff to embed trauma-informed practices across policies, procedures, and daily operations — not just in client-facing work, but organizationally.
Interactive workshops on vicarious trauma, burnout prevention, secondary traumatic stress, and building resilient, sustainable teams doing high-stakes work.
Support for Coordinated Community Response teams, fatality review boards, and multidisciplinary partnerships navigating the complexities of cross-system collaboration.
