Our Vicarious Trauma and Your Wellbeing sessions are for organisations, emergency services or communities who are working/caring for/volunteering alongside those who have been impacted by road trauma.

This workshop aims to upskill individuals in their ability to recognise signs and symptoms in themselves and others and provides evidence-based resiliency skills to mitigate the impact.

A big thank you to the Men's Shed WA for inviting Road Trauma Support WA to present at the Wongan Hills Zone Meeting earlier this month.

It was a privilege to connect with the men, have honest conversations about the impacts of road trauma and answer so many thoughtful and curious questions. These conversations help build understanding and ensure people know support is available when it's needed.

We always appreciate the opportunity to visit regional communities and connect with the people who make them so strong. Thanks for having us, Wongan Hills!

What happens to your nervous system after a road crash?

After a traumatic event, it's common to feel on edge, overwhelmed, anxious, or have trouble sleeping; even when the danger has passed.

Our latest blog explains why this happens and shares simple breathing and grounding techniques to help support your recovery.

🧠💙 It's Brain Injury Awareness Week, and an opportunity to raise awareness of the life-changing impact of brain injury and the importance of prevention, support and understanding.

For many people affected by road trauma, a brain injury can have long-term physical, cognitive, emotional and social consequences. Recovery is often a complex journey that affects not only the individual, but their family, friends and support network.

This week, we recognise the resilience of those living with brain injury and acknowledge the challenges they face every day 💙 If you're in need of support, reach out to Synapse - Australia's Brain Injury Organisation.

Earlier this month, Road Trauma Support WA travelled to Kondinin to deliver our Vicarious Trauma and Your Wellbeing workshop to local emergency responders, including St John WA volunteers and WA Police.

A big thank you to St John WA for organising the workshop and inviting us to be part of the night. It was a pleasure spending time with such a welcoming, supportive crew who do so much for their community.

We're also incredibly grateful to Karen from Dogs for First Responders for joining us with therapy dogs Angus and Oscar. They were definitely a highlight of the day, with plenty of pats, cuddles and smiles all round. 🐾

Looking after the wellbeing of those who support others is so important. Thank you to everyone who took the time to invest in their own wellbeing and to support one another.

Trying to support a child or young person you know and love after a crash can be confusing.

Every young person's experience of road trauma, and their response to it, will be unique - but there are ways you can extend your support throughout their process.

🚗🌾 August is Rural Road Safety Month 🌾🚜

Long distances, higher speed limits, fatigue, wildlife, and changing road conditions can increase the chances of a crash. WA's regional and rural roads account for a disproportionate number of serious crashes.

This month, we're reminding all road users that every journey matters – especially on regional and remote roads.

Whether you're travelling for work, heading away for the weekend, or driving between communities, take a moment to make safety your priority:

✅ Plan your trip and take regular breaks
✅ Slow down and drive to the conditions
✅ Wear your seatbelt every trip, every time
✅ Avoid distractions and never use your phone while driving, and
✅ Look out for wildlife, especially at dawn and dusk

Together, we can create safer roads for everyone in WA.

💙 If you or someone you know has been affected by road trauma, support is available. Visit http://www.rtswa.org.au
