Seminar/Workshop: Moving on After a Challenging Birth
Brisbane education and support group Birthtalk in association with
the Child Birth Education Association (Brisbane) Inc. (CEA) are
hosting a one day seminar/workshop for parents and health care
practitioners titled Moving On After a Challenging Birth on September
10th, 2006. The event is one of several being held around Australia
to mark National Caesarean Awareness Day (NCAD).
The day will feature talks and workshops by respected health
professionals such as Dr Sarah Buckley, author of Gentle Birth,
Gentle Mothering and women in the community who have moved on from
negative experiences and had positive births including natural
births, caesarean births and vaginal births after caesarean (VBAC).
The aim of this event is to acknowledge women's experiences of birth
and provide much needed information and support to help them better
understand and move on from difficult, disappointing or traumatic
birth experiences.
We're also encouraging health practitioners to come along so they can
gain more understanding of the impact of negative birth experiences
on women and families and learn how they can provide much needed support.
For further information or to register for the event, phone the CEA
on 07 3285 8233, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit www.birthtalk.org.
