Our peer support services
We have a large team of peer supporters who offer support over email and phone. All our peer supporters have experienced birth trauma, and they can share what helped them recover.
If you have a preference for talking to someone who has had a similar experience to you, just mention it in your initial call or email. The team includes one dad, Steve, who supports other dads, so if you’d like to deal with Steve, let us know. Read more about our peer supporters.
You may also find it helpful to read our leaflet for dads and partners.

If you’ve experienced birth trauma yourself, and would like to become a peer supporter, contact our our chair and volunteer manager Rachael by filling out this form, or directly at rachael@birthtraumaassociation.org.uk
Join Our Facebook group
We have a large private Facebook group, open to both mothers and partners affected by birth trauma. It’s a good place to seek and receive support from people who understand what you’ve been through.
Zoom drop-ins
Our peer support team holds a fortnightly Zoom drop-in on a Thursday evening. You can find the details on our Facebook group, or email us for information.
“I am absolutely sure the BTA saved my life, more than once – finding its Facebook support group when I was in crisis and then leading me to a therapist who brought me back to my loved ones.”
