Our Peer2Peer Support Service is a safe space to share your birthing experience.
Join ABTA’s private, peer-moderated Facebook support group.
We know first-hand that suffering from birth trauma can be a lonely and isolating experience, but we want you to know that you are not alone. We have a judgement-free community that you can easily connect with.
Knowing where to start when seeking support can be challenging, and word-of-mouth recommendations are the best way to find someone for your needs. This can be a good place to start your journey back to wellness.
Delivered in-person and online, our six-week, peer-led program is designed to help you make sense of and understand your birth experience.
Led by our trained peer facilitators, you’ll be guided with engaged, open conversations and storytelling. So you can see that recovery and acceptance is possible.
Our Peer2Peer Chat is an online (written text)* service that connects you with a trained Peer Support Volunteer.
All of our Peer Volunteers have a lived experience of birth-related trauma. You can book directly with a volunteer of your choice at a time when you are comfortable so we can give you the best support possible.
*Please note: voice or video calling isn’t available at present.Â

We are currently accepting expressions of interest from men and women wishing to be peer support volunteers with ABTA. Training and ongoing support are provided and your time commitment is very flexible so you can honour your family, work and leisure commitments.
Women are welcome to join our Facebook Group – Birth Trauma Support to connect with other mothers and ask questions about trauma recovery.
