BIRTH TRAUMA AUSTRALIA – Peer 2 Peer
Peach Tree Perinatal Wellness and the Australasian Birth Trauma Association (ABTA) are working in partnership to deliver their Peer 2 Peer Meets program. The ABTA Peer 2 Peer Meets program is a peer-led 6-week group designed to help birthing parents make sense of and understand their birth experience and is facilitated by perinatal peer workers who have a lived experience of birth related trauma themselves.
The Peer 2 Peer Meets program is aimed at bringing parents together in a friendly and compassionate environment to provide education, understanding and a safe space to explore birth related trauma and to develop a plan moving forward. This program is for birthing parents aged 18+, where at least 3 months has passed since the birth related trauma.
Birthing parents will be guided with engaged, open conversations and storytelling so they can see that recovery and acceptance is possible.
A program workbook is provided which will direct the weekly content. Additionally, each week has a specific theme as outlined here:
WEEK 1
Laying the foundations
WEEK 2
The birth trauma rollercoaster
WEEK 3
Exploring a birth debrief
WEEK 4
Creating your collaborative care team
WEEK 5
Friends, family and trauma
WEEK 6
Where to from here? A celebration!
