About Sage Haven

The Sage Haven Logo - It is the general shape of a tree with a slender black trunk on a thin slightly sloping hill. There are leaf shapes radiating out like branches larger leaves toward the middle and smaller at the outside of the canopy. The leaves change color in progression from purple on the left to blue, light blue, green in the middle, yellow, orange and red on the right.

Our Executive Director

Ellen Frood

“Much of the life-changing work that we do at Sage Haven Society incorporates the notion of transitions. Transitions from abusive relationships into the safety of our shelter. Transitions from shelter into independence and economic security. Transitions from the trauma of sexual assault to whole, healed, hopeful futures. Courageous transitions from fear and isolation to empowerment and hope.”
