Havening Global Outreach

We encourage Havening delegates and practitioners to explore two organizations that use Havening for humanitarian purposes. These are Humanitarian Havening and the Peaceful Heart Network, described below. Participation in these groups helps spread Havening worldwide.

Humanitarian Havening

If you are looking to use Havening with communities in need worldwide, you can get support by joining Humanitarian Havening, which was started in 2023 by Erika Neil, Irene Hajisava, and Eugenia Karahalias, who are social workers and Havening trainers. The Humanitarian Havening model is designed for communities in crisis that are already at an elevated activation level. It uses Havening touch in a safe way that is best for challenged settings domestic or abroad.

In order to participate, please watch our training video recordings that describe the model and considerations when working in these distressed communities. You will also have access to resource materials, regular meetings, and ongoing support.

Humanitarian Havening is peer-led and we develop ideas jointly. We are primarily a support group that provides collaboration and resources. Currently we have initiatives in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and in practitioners' resident countries.

Peaceful Heart Network

If you are doing or looking to do humanitarian or community outreach you will benefit from understanding the basic principles and possible challenges. We (Gunilla Hamne and Havening Trainer Ulf Sandstrom) started our work in 2007 and have since reached an approximate of 300.000 people in 45 countries with a toolkit that makes First Aid for Stress and Trauma (FAST) possible for anyone, even children. Our Hero Techniques are the Trauma Tapping Technique and simplified Self-Havening.

Trauma Tapping (TTT) is a simplified, language and content free tapping modality. Self- Havening by Dr Ruden is a simplified similar modality that uses three types of stroking touch and builds on the same hypothesis of depotentiation.

You don't join us, we join you. We offer free trainings, certification and mentoring the last Wednesday of each month (donation optional and appreciated). Help yourself to free materials and videos on our website, www.peacefulheart.se and our free app Self Help for Trauma in 34 languages, with TTT, Havening and breathing instructions.
