About

Haven Horizons is a National Domestic Abuse Prevention Centre based in Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. It works to prevent domestic abuse and coercive control through education, research, training and collaborative partnerships. It delivers accredited interagency training for frontline professionals, runs a book donation and awareness programme for libraries and institutions, and hosts a virtual community of practice and public events. Its work is informed by the Zero Tolerance strategy on violence against women and children and Ireland's third National Strategy on Domestic, Sexual and Gender-based Abuse.
