2019 Awareness Week
The theme of 2019’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week was relationships, and how hard it can be to rebuild trust in relationships with friends, family and health professionals after a traumatic birth.
Throughout the week, we posted video clips of women talking about how their birth experience affected their relationships, as well as links to women’s stories on our website, using the hashtags #TrustAfterTrauma and #BTA2019.
