Health Assistance Intervention Education Network

HAVEN is the health assistance program authorized by state law to serve virtually all healthcare professionals licensed or eligible for license in the State of Connecticut. HAVEN offers a confidential alternative to "public disciplinary action for professionals suffering from chemical dependency, emotional or behavioral disorder, or physical or mental illness."

HAVEN provides a safe environment for coordinating educational, rehabilitative, and supportive services to healthcare professionals.

​

HAVEN is an independent non-profit corporation founded by the Connecticut State Medical Society, Connecticut Nurses Association, Connecticut State Dental Association, Connecticut Veterinary Medicine Association and Connecticut Academy of Physician Assistants that provides confidential consultation and support to healthcare professionals facing health concerns related to alcoholism, substance abuse, behavioral or mental health issues and/or physical illness.

​

HAVEN provides to the Department of Public Health (DPH), licensing boards, and the Public Health Committee Assembly annually the number of professionals in our program and represents that all professionals allowed to return to practice are considered capable of practicing with skill and safety assuming ongoing compliance with their health and wellness plans. HAVEN also undergoes program audits to ensure transparency and quality in our processes.

HAVEN is dedicated to serving healthcare professionals through accountability, support and earned advocacy with dignity, respect, and confidentiality as allowed by law.
