The speakers for the meeting on the 17th of July are Amy Dawes and Rachel Haywood from the Australasian Birth Trauma Association.  

In Australia, one in three women identify their birth as traumatic. This forum is being held to raise awareness of the impact of birth trauma – and the importance of detection, prevention, support and treatment.

 I passionately believe in the value of the work being done by the Australasian Birth Trauma Association and allied organisations to assist our daughters, our wives and our mothers who have been unfortunate enough to experience birth trauma.  Rotary is in a position to support their work. I would like to see Hawthorn identify a project that is distinctively ours.  Perhaps our Club can take the lead in this area. We can only make this decision if we are all well informed.
