Welcome to the Birth Injury Resource Center

The arrival of a newborn should be a time of tremendous joy and wonder for a family. But when a birth injury turns a new beginning into a nightmare, parents are left to deal with unimaginable heartbreak—and many unanswered questions.

If your child is suffering from a birth injury or birth defect, you may be struggling to put the pieces together. Trying to understand what went wrong and what to do next can be overwhelming, and you may feel as if you're all alone in your situation.

The Birth Injury Resource Center was designed to be a comprehensive resource for parents and families affected by cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, shoulder dystocia-related injuries and other types of birth trauma. The various sections within this website contain information, tips and resources to help you understand your child's birth injury, make educated decisions about their care and treatment, and get the support you need to find comfort and hope during this difficult time.
