Breaking the Silence on Child Abuse
Abusive Childhood Effects
At Cheryl Bloom Books, we are supportive for the power of resilience and strive to create a world where every child is liberated from the chains of abuse. Cheryl Bloom, a survivor herself, stands at the forefront of our mission to prevent child abuse, break the silence, and offer support to those in need.
Cheryl's Journey: From Victim to Survivor
Cheryl Bloom's personal journey fuels our commitment to raising awareness about child abuse prevention. Having experienced the horrors of abuse in her own life, Cheryl emerged not only as a survivor but as a passionate supporter for those who still suffer in silence. Her story serves as a beacon of hope, proving that healing is possible with the right support. Cheryl experienced a wide range of abuse and her family members protected the pedophile who was doing the abuse. Let's stop this and never let another child suffer from another day of abuse!
Breaking the Silence
Child abuse thrives in silence, and breaking that silence is the first step toward prevention. Cheryl Bloom advocates for open conversations about child abuse prevention, providing a platform where survivors can share their stories, and communities can come together to foster a culture of awareness and support.
