The programme is available to any Badoo user who reports sexual abuse or assault to Badoo, regardless of who you are and where you live. We are here for you.
About the partnership
Badoo and Bloom have partnered to provide a free curated online trauma support programme to Badoo's global community of survivors who have experienced sexual assault or relationship abuse. Through this programme, Bloom is offering a range of services for Badoo users healing from their experience of sexual abuse or assault. This includes free access to Bloom’s self-guided library of resources created by survivors and trauma-informed therapists, and opportunities for interactive 1:1 online chat with course facilitators.
About Bloom
Bloom is a remote trauma support service from Chayn, a global charity supporting survivors of abuse across borders. Bloom informs and empowers survivors by offering remote courses that combine the insights of survivors globally on trauma and gender-based violence with therapeutic practices to heal from trauma. It was built to address the barriers many survivors face in accessing mental health support, such as cost, stigma, inaccessibility, privacy, and safety, and has already supported over 1000 participants from 40+ countries. All Bloom courses are trauma-informed and intersectional. The courses are written by survivors, allies, mental-health support workers, and therapists.
