Road Trauma Support WA

Being mindful is knowing where our attention is right now, and choosing to be in the moment, with acceptance and no judgement 💗

Aboriginal people practice something similar to mindfulness known as Dadirri. Dadirri means deep listening; a quiet, still awareness; waiting.

After road trauma, mindfulness can support the healing process on the road to recovery. Mindfulness is a tool we can use to help us accept our painful experiences and reduce our stress response.

PTSD Awareness Day - 27th of June
The impact of a road crash doesn't always end at the crash site.
People affected by road trauma may experience symptoms of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, also known as PTSD.
Recovery can take time but you don't have to go through it alone.
This PTSD Awareness Day, we want to remind anyone impacted by road trauma that you are not alone and support is available.
