Havening Global Outreach

The Havening organization has been reaching out world-wide to help communities in distress due to natural disasters, man-made crises, and poverty. Part of our organizational mission is to share Havening Techniques for the betterment of humankind. We have taught self-Havening and group Havening on almost every continent. In refugee centers, orphanages and schools, and within families we show simple ways to regulate self and other, find inner refuge, calm the nervous system for better problem-solving, and feel cared for and supported.

In addition to teaching Havening skills that can be done within social networks, we are beginning to teach practitioners in many locations so that they can accommodate it and frame it to local culture and needs. Touch is a universal language and healing agent. Havening has vast application to reduce distress, amplify resilience, and promote growth wherever it spreads.

Our organization receives feedback again and again of the great impact Havening has made in people's lives in degree of hope, functionality, joy, connection, cognitive capacity, and resilience. If you have an interest in learning more about Havening in your part of the world, please contact us. You can also learn more about the work we have done worldwide at HumanitarianHavening.org.

Certified Havening Practitioners work in countries across six continents: in clinical practices, coaching offices, schools, humanitarian organizations, and corporate settings. The populations they serve are as diverse as the contexts: veterans, trauma survivors, elite performers, children, healthcare workers, and communities navigating crisis.

The Center actively supports the expansion of Havening into high-need and underserved settings. This includes ongoing work with populations affected by conflict, and sustained efforts to build practitioner capacity in regions where access to conventional mental health resources is limited or absent.

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.

Humanitarian Havening provides training, collaboration and resources. Currently we have initiatives in Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and in practitioners' resident countries. To find out more, please go to our website:

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.
