Respite Breaks
Scotty Breaks create opportunities for families to come together, bond, make new memories, and talk to one another. You and your family can apply for a free break at one of our Scotty Lodges on Haven sites.
Events
Scotty's events are a great opportunity to meet others who truly understand. They're not therapy events — just bringing our community together, having fun, and making memories.
Care Packages
Our members receive a little something on the anniversary of the death of their loved one — gift cards, greeting cards, and small treats — a reminder they're not alone.
