The Meaning Behind Our Logo
At Springhaven, our logo is more than just an image—it’s a symbol of transformation, resilience, and hope.
Just like a moth, survivors of intimate partner violence go through a journey of change. The moth hatches and becomes most active in the spring, drawn to light even in the darkest spaces. When it reemerges, it is adorned with vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and tiny shimmering hairs, reflecting its newfound strength and beauty.
Springhaven is that light. We are a beacon of hope, guiding survivors through the darkness and into a new beginning. Here, survivors can hatch, heal, and sprout wings—empowered to reclaim their lives.
At Springhaven, we will be your light in a dark room.
