Help Support Survivors Like Ellen
My life changed forever the day that my cousin James began to babysit me. I suffered in silence for years not knowing where to turn to begin to untangle my trauma.
My healing journey began when I finally summoned the courage to call The Cocoon’s 24/7 hotline. During that initial call the advocate let me know that it is normal for an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse to carry the effects of an assault years after it happens.
In the five years that I have been receiving services from The Cocoon, I have come to understand that it is possible to go from a broken and scared child to a courageous and strong-minded young woman. I have worked hard to become proud of the person I have become despite what i have been forced to endure.
