Breech Without Borders

Breech training, education, & advocacy

Breech Without Borders is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to breech training, education, and advocacy. We help information cross linguistic, geographic, and knowledge borders by:

1. Translating existing material about breech into multiple languages
2. Supporting breech research, publication, conferences, lectures, and training workshops
3. Making information about breech more accessible and understandable to both health care providers and to the public 

Workshops

RISKS/BENEFITS, VIDEOS, MECHANICS, & MORE
