Learn about Chayn's services and resources for survivors of gender-based violence
Join us to get to know Chayn and what we do! In this session, we'll introduce you to Chayn's free services and resources for survivors of gender-based violence, including our digital trauma support platform Bloom (bloom.chayn.co).
Who is Chayn?
Chayn is a global nonprofit, run by survivors and allies from around the world, creating resources to support the healing of survivors of gender-based violence.
We create open, online resources and services for survivors of abuse that are trauma-informed, intersectional, multilingual and feminist.
What is Bloom?
Bloom is Chayn’s award-winning trauma support platform designed to support survivors of gender-based violence in their healing and can be accessed anywhere in the world for free!
Co-created by our global team of survivors, allies, and trauma-informed therapists, Bloom contains:
Curated video courses on topics such as healing from sexual trauma and recovering from toxic and abusive relationships
Reflective activities
Grounding exercises
An affirmational WhatsApp subscription service
Access to our direct 1-1 messaging service
Bloom is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi and Portuguese.
Using a survivor-centred approach and an intersectional feminist lens, Bloom topics range from trauma bonding and understanding coercive control to sexuality and desire after experiencing sexual violence.
Since 2020, Chayn has supported over 500,000 survivors from over 60 countries and 97% of Bloom users would recommend the service to someone else in their position:
'The feeling that someone was there for me...I could watch the videos anytime and feel like I was part of something. I never had to worry about inconveniencing someone because I am never important enough for that. You made me feel that I belonged. That was the most important.'
