Twayne Safe Haven is a youth mental health and wellbeing community built around storytelling, emotional support, and personal growth. We create safe spaces where young people can share their experiences, build meaningful connections, and develop confidence in who they are.

Twayne Safe Haven was founded in 2015 and has been supporting young people through community activities, storytelling initiatives, and events for over 11 years. What started as an informal safe space has grown into a structured community with documented programs and measurable impact.

Twayne Safe Haven is a community support space, not a clinical mental health service. We provide peer connection, storytelling, and safe spaces for expression and growth.

If a participant needs professional mental health support, we do our best to guide them toward appropriate resources. Our programs are designed to complement, not replace, professional care.

Our community is open to young people who are looking for a supportive environment to grow, connect, and express themselves. You do not need any particular background or experience to join.

Yes. Most of our community spaces and activities are free to participate in. Some specific programs or events may have eligibility requirements or limited spaces, but joining our general community is always free.

We run both online and in-person programs. In-person activities are primarily based in Nigeria, with Lagos as our main hub. Online sessions are open to participants from different locations across Nigeria and beyond.

Programs typically include guided wellbeing discussions, peer support circles, storytelling and reflection activities, and community connection experiences. Everything is designed to be welcoming, non-judgmental, and focused on growth.

There are several ways to support Twayne Safe Haven. You can share our mission with people who might benefit, participate in our programs, volunteer your time or skills, or make a donation when the option is available.
