Lived Experience Story - Holly Perreault
Holly Perreault is a survivor of childhood sexual and emotional abuse. She first advocated for others at just fourteen years old after suffering years of her own sexual abuse. At the heart of Holly’s story is the message that breaking the silence is the key to breaking intergenerational cycles of sexual abuse and trauma. Holly shares several personal examples of her own trauma and recovery and what drove her to speak up, choose forgiveness and finally, heal the wounds through a variety of recovery opportunities. Holly’s hope is that by sharing her story of resilience will empower and inspire those who are suffering in silence. Her belief is finding your voice is the first step to breaking the cycles of abuse and living a life you love.
