Alumnae Program

Alumnae Program

The Haven launched its Alumnae Program in 2022 to enhance the member services. The Alumnae Program offers community, peer support, and sober fun activities that everybody can participate in. 

As a part of the Alumnae Program, we offer weekly activities that are open to all Haven alumnae. Please see the most recent calendar of activities below and feel free to attend any of them, no prior registration needed unless otherwise stated!

Havenette Butterfly Buddy Program

The Haven has a new Havenette Butterfly Buddy Program to offer all newly graduated members an alumnae mentor who can provide support through the transitioning period back into everyday life and out of the safety net of treatment. The support provided may look quite different for each mentor and mentee and will be determined by the needs of the individuals. 

Being active in your recovery and forming a strong support network are important steps in successful recovery. The goal of the Havenette Butterfly Buddy Program is to provide graduates more peer support and opportunities for social engagement and relationship building.

  • Committed to providing at minimum of, one hour every two weeks, to in person support to their mentee, for at least 90 days.
  • Participate, with mentee, in at least one scheduled Haven Alumnae support group meeting/activity per month for 90 days.

Expectations for mentors

  • Must report to Alumnae Coordinator Shawnna Lortz when in person meetings take place, between you and your mentee, for tracking purposes, through text, phone call or voicemail.
  • Must exhibit healthy boundaries and provide recovery focused direction to mentees.
  • Be willing to hold mentees accountable when observed risky behavior is noticed by mentor and provide support utilizing resources provided by Haven alumnae employees.
