what is
beach haven?
Beach Haven is Harry Potter lovers equivalent of Hogwarts; it exists to the reader, and becomes the backdrop of all the activities within its walls. Hogwarts is surrounded by green countryside and forests. Beach Haven sits next to a beautiful sandy beach, beyond a grassy mound, and although Harry learned magic, the main characters in the I Only Said series of therapeutic novels experience a different sort of magic.
With work and practice, they can change the shape of relationships and self-esteem, and those changes can completely alter their lives.

Within the “walls” of Beach Haven, lost and troubled teenagers find safety with Miss Tina, a therapist, Miss Cassie, a life skills teacher, and Ken, a counselor and wonderful male role model. The teenagers are treated with kindness, yet are held accountable for their actions without being shamed. Their thoughts are gently challenged by their peers after learning from the adults.

They leave Beach Haven empowered and able to keep themselves safe and emotionally healthy in the future. They become the key to breaking intergenerational pathology.
