As part of our commitment to support health professionals, we welcome you to the ABTA’s health professional birth-related trauma resource hub. From patient and consumer resources and services, to research, education and training, our health professional hub is here to support you in giving the best care to you and your patients and their families. We greatly value your feedback, please reach out to us in order to improved the quality and breadth of support and information available.
The ABTA provides various training and edcational to support the health and community sectors. Launching in February 2024, ThinkNatal Training and Education Hub offers support services to women, birthing people, partners, and non-birthing parents who have experienced birth-related trauma and address the unmet needs of birthing families throughout Australia. Additionally, we advocate for improved support systems for individuals who have witnessed birth trauma in their workplaces.
Through research and our peer-to-peer support programs, we have gained valuable insights into the nature, scope and impact of birth-related trauma. We are now able to use these insights to inform the development of comprehensive, certified birth-related trauma training. There is a critical need to educate and up-skill in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of birth-related trauma. We have a range of educational resources and training modules to aid your professional development.
