The Birth Trauma Association is an organisation founded and run by women who themselves have experienced birth trauma. They are the only charity based in the UK dedicated to supporting women and their families who have experienced traumatic birth.
Their birth trauma awareness week campaign runs from the 14th to the 20th July 2025 and has been running as an annual campaign since 2017.
Their campaign is instrumental in increasing understanding and awareness of birth trauma and has 3 main aims:
Draw attention to the subject of traumatic birth and the impact it has on women and their families
Share useful information about birth trauma, including how to get help
Encourage people to tell their stories and reduce the taboo on traumatic birth
