Hi members,

Today I'm pleased to announce a collaboration with the discord chat community called The Haven. You can learn more about them and/or join their community here:

The Haven
Discord

This is simply a different way to chat in real-time with others who are grappling with recovery and mental health concerns. Our chat system is not going away. Instead, we encourage you to check out and try their chat system on discord and feel free to use it as an adjunct or instead of our chat. Some people prefer discord, and we didn't want to reinvent the wheel since The Haven already exists.

The Haven's rules are a little different than our community guidelines, so make sure you review them at #rules when you're connected, and follow the instructions for becoming verified.

If you're not familiar with discord chat, you may feel a bit overwhelmed at first. It's not for everyone. But if you are familiar with it, you may prefer that as a way of chatting with others.

As a part of this collaboration, we've setup a new forum for The Haven users. Feel free to welcome new The Haven members!

https://mysupportforums.org/the-haven/

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Best,
DocJohn

You might be able to run the Android app or Linux app in a container.

You can also manually add the server once you download the app or open discord by itself:

https://discord.gg/qQVZSKJ ===> The Haven 18+ with a mental illness

If any of the above links do not work, you can manually add it once you're in the app.
If you'd like to add Discord WITHOUT adding the server first, go toDiscord - Free Voice and Text Chat for Gamers


If you guys are still having any trouble getting into the Discord, please don't hesitate to send me a DM or reply to me here!

It's a bit overwhelming at first but once I got rid of the black background on The Haven I can look at the screen and start to figure out how to use it.

What happened to Haven Lite and Haven Retreat? The links are invalid or expired.

They both were closed. They found some predators on Haven Retreat and decided they couldn't handle the liability if anyone under 18 so they only do 18 and up now. At least that is what I recall. I could be wrong. I think Retreat may still exist in some form but it's 18 and up.
