Rehumanising Birth: Reducing and Preventing Birth Trauma in Maternity Services
Join us for a transformative training day designed for healthcare professionals within maternity services, dedicated to understanding and reducing birth trauma. This reflective and immersive session will explore the many dimensions of trauma, offering insights from both service users and healthcare professionals.
We’ll delve into the psychological, physical, and socio-cultural aspects of birth trauma, examining the profound impact it can have on the families engaging with our services, as well as the professionals who support them. You’ll gain valuable insight into not only the emotional toll and trauma that healthcare providers can experience during high-pressure births, but also the opportunity to reflect on how care practices may unintentionally contribute to trauma for the families involved in our care. Together, we’ll explore ways to develop resilience, while learning how to provide more compassionate and supportive care.
Led by experts in the field, this session is evideance based, offering practical tools and strategies that can be integrated into daily care. From improving communication and trauma-informed care to supporting both birthing individuals and colleagues, you’ll leave with the knowledge and skills needed to foster safer, more compassionate birthing experiences.
This is more than just training; it’s a journey toward healing, prevention, and meaningful change. Whether you're a midwife, doctor, or part of the support staff, this event will empower you to reduce birth trauma and enhance maternity care, while also addressing the emotional needs of healthcare professionals themselves.
