We recognise that you have found the Australasian Birth Trauma Association (ABTA) because something isn’t right. Our goal is to give you the confidence to recognise your symptoms and seek the right help to suit your needs.
For Mums
The delivery of a baby can be a positive experience for some women, but for others it can be very negative, resulting in physical and/or psychological injuries (trauma). We are here to support you with an understanding and non-judgemental ear, evidence-based information as well as guidance on the steps you can take to move you forward on your journey. We hear you.
For Fathers & Partners
We recognise the vital role that fathers and partners play in the lives of women affected by psychological and/or physical trauma and acknowledge the trauma those fathers and partners experience themselves during a traumatic birth. We hope this information encourages fathers and partners to seek help and understand they are not alone.
