Birth trauma awareness week - 17-24 July 2022
What
The Australasian Birth Trauma Association (ABTA) is on a mission to reduce the instances and impact of birth trauma whilst supporting affected women, families and healthcare professionals.
Why
Help us raise funds so we can continue to support families impacted by birth-related trauma. Your money goes to important work such as advocacy, education, research and peer-led support programs.
Invite friends or start a team
Tell frinds that you are doing something special and would love their support by walking beside you and starting a conversation.

If you want to raise funds, but can’t commit to putting on an event, why not try a raffle? Sell tickets at work, at the school gate, to your friends and family – anywhere really! Try contacting local businesses to see if any are willing to donate prizes.
