Birth injuries can transform the celebratory moment of a child’s birth into a lifelong nightmare that includes serious health complications, permanent disability, or death. The Birth Injury Center provides support and resources to families that have been impacted by birth trauma. When these injuries are caused by medical errors, the Birth Injury Center can provide legal representation to help families pursue justice.

Birth trauma occurs in approximately 29 out of every 1,000 births in the United States, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. This is a shocking statistic given the advanced state of modern medicine. Unfortunately, many of these injuries can be traced back to human error.

Your family should not have to suffer the effects of traumatic birth injuries alone. The Birth Injury Center provides education and referrals to local resources that may offer financial assistance, emotional support, and assistive technology and services. We also provide legal representation to help families recover damages from negligent health care providers.

Baby’s Breath is Canada’s only national foundation focused on SIDS, and more recently also dedicated to reducing all sudden and unexpected infant deaths including stillbirths.

Since our inception in 1973, we have pursued our mission through research, advocacy and a peer-to-peer bereavement support network to assist families who have faced the tragic loss of an infant.

The death of an infant is a devastating event not only for the parents, but for the entire family. Siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends are all affected by the sudden death of a baby. Baby’s Breath believes no one should endure the grief of such loss alone. We are here to help.

Our mission is to improve birth outcomes through programming, advocacy, and support. Health Equity is at the center of our work, with a goal to reduce the racial disparities that persist. We help save babies using the evidence-based Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention campaign, which educates expectant parents on the importance of tracking their babies’ movements in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and to speak up if they notice a change.

Our vision is to replicate the success of the highly effective Count the Kicks campaign in all 50 states. We hope to reduce America’s stillbirth by 32% as we have done in Iowa, which would save 7,500 babies from preventable stillbirth every year.

OUR MISSION: Cut the US stillbirth rate by 20% by the end of 2030, in half by 2050, and in time, eradicate all preventable stillbirths.

OUR VISION: Through partnerships with health providers and aggressive awareness campaigns, we will empower every expectant family with the equitable, evidenced-based medical care and education they need to advocate for a healthy pregnancy, giving parents and babies the best possible chance to make it home safely together
