About In Bloom

Many survivors of abuse face long term emotional, physical and psychological damage. Although connecting with other survivors can be an invaluable part of recovering, In Bloom urges all survivors to seek out help and guidance from qualified medical and mental health professionals who have expertise and experience in issues related to violence and trauma. In Bloom also urges survivors to become informed consumers. When using the Internet as a recovery tool, remember: unless it is specifically and plainly indicated, assume all sites are not the work of professional licensed healthcare providers. In Bloom suggests all survivors take a proactive role in their own recovery. Determine for yourself- or with the help of your healthcare provider or therapist- the legitimacy of any professionally or personally created website you discover online.
