We believe every clinician deserves the same confidentiality and privacy protections afforded to their patients. Period.
We’re on a mission to make privacy protection a reality — across the healthcare industry and around the country. SafeHaven empowers clinicians to address burnout and their mental health through trusted solutions built to protect their confidentiality, their licenses, and their careers.
Every day, the overwhelming amount of pressure clinicians face is pushing them to the breaking point. Yet they don’t seek support for fear that disclosure or discovery of mental health treatment could jeopardize their career by:
- Interrupting or destroying their ability to practice
- Restricting their consideration for employment or leadership roles
- Damaging their reputation
- Eroding valuable trust with colleagues and patients
This fear is deeply ingrained within the medical community. It’s legitimate. It’s pervasive. Its impact is devastating.
SafeHaven is a dedicated solution.
Since SafeHaven was established by the Medical Society of Virginia in 2020, we’ve actively worked with medical societies, professional associations, and other changemakers to champion legislation with the goal of bringing SafeHaven protections — and the psychological safety it provides — to clinicians across all 50 states.

What SafeHaven Confidentiality Means- SafeHaven protections are created through state legislation that shields clinicians’ participation in approved support programs from disclosure, discovery, and reporting—except in rare, clearly defined safety circumstances.
SafeHaven Confidentiality Protection Currently Varies by State
We’re proud of SafeHaven’s growth since it was established in Virginia in 2020. Every day, we’re doing more. Not all states currently offer the same level of confidentiality protection. Below is a snapshot of where SafeHaven aligned protections exist today.
Let’s Work Together to Bring SafeHaven Protections to Your State
