Safe Haven Toolkit

Virginia’s Safe Haven laws provide a protective refuge for infants that otherwise might be abandoned in an unsafe manner. Creating awareness of Safe Haven laws and accessibility to designated Safe Haven locations is important as these locations provide a protected and regulated process for parents who feel it is best to surrender their infants.  

Please join us in preventing infant abandonment by spreading awareness of Virginia’s Safe Haven laws and resources.  

The below resources are available in digital format and can be shared with your staff, on social media platforms, on agency/organization websites and with others in your network. Additionally, printed materials can be obtained by visiting the National Safe Haven Alliance (NSHA) or calling 1-888-510- BABY(2229).
