Welcome to the Make Birth Better Training Hub

This is where we host and sell our online courses and our annual birth trauma summit.

“I thought the training was spot on. It felt like a breath of fresh air. We need more professionals to start talking about birth trauma. Women and families deserve more.”   Make Birth Better Training Attendee

There is a critical need to educate and upskill around birth trauma. Not only is birth trauma preventable in many cases, but for those who do suffer it is often poorly diagnosed and treated. We are experts at providing clinically-led training to organisations and individuals covering all they need to learn about birth trauma, as well as vicarious trauma in professionals. Our aim is provide something for everyone - from free resources through to bespoke training designed to meet your exact needs. We are proud to deliver training which is focused on meaningful, creative, reflective and personalised learning.

This is our online training hub and below are the options for booking our online courses and annual birth trauma summit. If you're looking for something more bespoke click here, if you want to buy our books click here and if you'd like to access our free downloads and resources click here.
