Welcome from the TAALK community of survivors!

Healing can be a long road and we want you to know you're not alone. As a matter of fact, experts estimate there are over 42 million survivors of child sexual abuse in America with similar statistics in other countries around the world. Many of them, probably most of them, have never broken the silence.

There are survivors in your community, probably on your street, maybe even in your home. But you'll never know who they are until you give yourself permission to talk about it. Breaking the silence will empower you to heal and inspire others to do the same.

We all need someone to support us through our healing journey, wherever we may be along the path. We all need to talk to someone who truly understands; someone who has personally experienced the fear, shame, anger and betrayal of child sexual abuse; someone who has walked across the bridge before us. We're here for you. You can be there for us. We're all in this together!

If you're early in your healing process, let others support you. If you're already well down the path of healing, please share your strength and healing success with others.

If you're a survivor, we encourage you to be intentional and proactive about your healing. Use the links below to get connected to a support group near you. 

The song "Reflections" by Christina Aguilera has powerful lyrics that represent the life of many survivors women and men alike. Our hope at TAALK is that your healing journey will eventually allow your reflection to show who you really are inside. The lyrics are below. Enjoy and be inspired to heal!
