A Mother's Village
Haven brings mothers, neighbours and local supporters into small, trusted circles that make everyday life easier and less lonely. Here's every part of the app, explained plainly.
Not another feed to scroll. Six practical things, each designed to make an ordinary hard day easier.
Find parents close to you at the same stage, in the same neighbourhood, living the same week you are.
A vetted directory of the services mothers actually need nearby — childcare, clinics, classes, practitioners.
A sitter, a school pickup, groceries, a meal. Post it to your villages and get help from verified neighbours.
Join groups by location, interest, stage or parenting style — and ask the things you'd rather not ask a search engine.
Pass gently used baby items to a family nearby, and find what you need without buying new. Less waste, less expense, and a reason to meet someone two streets away.
Choose a category, say how urgent it is, and pick which of your villages can see it. Your request never goes out to strangers.
The other half of the loop. Post when you're free and what you can help with, and let anyone nearby who needs it come to you.
Small, local, verified groups with names, guidelines and admins who actually moderate. The people you'll keep seeing.
The Wellness Hub is Haven's optional subscription — affordable access to resources and services to help mothers and families heal physically, emotionally and mentally. It is built on three pillars of support:
The community side of Haven is free and always will be. The Wellness Hub is optional, with free preview content — and many of our vetted Canadian partner organizations focus their resources and services on these three pillars.
Every act of kindness earns points. Collect the pieces of the Haven Puzzle and they turn into perks from businesses on your own high street.
Haven asks mothers to be honest about hard days and to let people they've just met near their children. That puts the burden of proof on us, not on you.
Every member is verified before they can join a village.
Share it or don't. You decide how precisely you appear to anyone else.
Flag any post or block any member, from anywhere in the app, in two taps.
In an emergency, call 911. For urgent mental health support anywhere in Canada, call or text 988, the Suicide Crisis Helpline, any time of day. Haven surfaces these resources — it is not itself a crisis service.
Motherhood shifts daily. One tap tells your village how today is going — Good, Okay, Tired, Overwhelmed or in need of Support — and Haven quietly adjusts what it shows you.
Open requests from your village, sorted by how close they are and how urgent they are. Answer the ones that fit your day — and ignore the ones that don't, guilt-free.
Not everything belongs in the village feed. Move a conversation to a private one-to-one or small group thread whenever it needs to be just between you.
Online is a start. Events are how a village becomes real — stroller walks, Mommy & Me yoga, coffee meetups and village meet-and-greets, organized by members near you.
Anything useful you come across in Haven can be saved to your own Library — so the advice that helped at 3am is still there next month.
Your Library is private to you.
Some questions are too small to text a friend and too urgent to wait. Haven A.I is built into the app so you can ask, get a starting point, and save the answer to your Library.
Haven A.I is not a medical service. It does not diagnose, and it is not a substitute for your doctor, midwife or public-health nurse. For anything urgent, contact a health professional — and in an emergency call 911.
Behind the scenes of building Haven — the community, the mothers, and the road to launch in Ontario.
Add your email and we'll write once — the day your village opens. Tell us where you are and it helps us choose the next community.
Thank you — you're on the list. We'll be in touch.
