Havening is a psychosensory technique designed to reduce emotional distress and enhance psychological well-being. It consists of soothing touch accompanied by distractions such as humming and singing, which together calm the emotional center of the brain by producing calming brain waves and chemical messengers, like serotonin and oxytocin. Havening can easily be taught to individuals and groups as a self-care method and it can also be done with a practitioner to help resolve individual traumas.
Humanitarian Havening is an initiative to take the healing effect of Havening to communities across the world that are in acute distress. Havening is a wonderful method for bringing global relief because it is easily taught and shared in groups and can be passed on to other families, groups, and communities so that its effect is exponential. It is simple, safe, and lasting. Most groups enjoy Havening greatly and enjoy experiencing it together.
It can be used with groups including but not limited to: non-governmental organizations, shelters, veterans associations, schools, refugee camps, prisons, grief groups, victims of natural and manmade disasters, hospice care, hospitals, and other community groups and organizations.
If you are already working with communities to provide relief, Havening is an easy add-on method for reducing distress and enhancing calmness. You can offer it while administering aid and resources. Our organization can train you to provide Havening, provide it ourselves, our both!
We have training for humanitarian aid workers, service providers, and volunteers to teach how to incorporate Havening into the services you already provide.
