This is a totally confidential service run by our Volunteer Peer Supporters, all of whom have endured their own traumatic births.
They can provide advice and empathy based on their own experiences; they are not counsellors or mental health professionals.
Calls will NOT be recorded and your personal details will not be stored.
Anyone who is in mental health crisis or needs support outside of the available hours above, please call NHS 111 or contact the Samaritans on 116 123.
If you don’t feel up to talking but would still like help after a traumatic birth, you can email our Peer Supporters at support@BirthTraumaAssociation.org.uk

*Standard rates apply.
[We may be able to increase our hours if/when more volunteers are trained. There might also be periods when we can’t staff the helpline during advertised hours due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances - if you call and reach our voicemail then feel free to leave a message or try emailing the team instead.]
