This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating women everywhere — especially the mothers who bring the next generation into the world.

But we also want to acknowledge something we cannot ignore.

Every day, nearly 800 mothers die from preventable pregnancy and childbirth complications, and millions of babies face serious health risks in their earliest moments of life.

These moments matter. They shape a child’s future health and development.

Many lifelong conditions, including cerebral palsy, can be linked to complications during pregnancy and birth.

That’s why maternal and newborn care matters so much.

We need to work towards a future where every mother has access to the care she deserves — and every baby has the healthiest possible start in life.

When we support mothers, we protect the next generation.

Cerebral palsy is the most common lifelong motor disability.

Cerebral palsy isn’t rare and it isn’t just a childhood condition. In the U.S., more than 1 million people live with cerebral palsy, and more than 50 million people worldwide! For far too long this diagnosis has been overlooked and under-recognized.

"We will be going green for CP to show our community what cerebral palsy looks like, and encourage them to ask us any questions they have about it so we can share information and raise awareness!"

All month long, we'll be sharing stories of people living with cerebral palsy and their families! Here's what Ricki shared about their family's experience.💚

On the latest episode of Cerebral Palsy Health, Jen sits down with Ginny Paleg, PT, DScPT, to talk about her recent research on Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI).

This therapy has grown in popularity and is often recommended by clinicians — but what does the evidence actually say? Ginny breaks down what is (and isn’t) supported by research and explores why some of these "intensives" are so popular with families.

🎧 Tune in for an honest, evidence-based conversation at https://cpresource.org/topic/early-intervention/episode-16-ginny-paleg-pt-dscpt-considering-alternatives-exploring-dmi!

March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month! So let's go back to the basics and talk about what cerebral palsy is. It's an umbrella term used to refer to a group of movement disorders, stemming from damage to the developing brain.

What does that mean? We break it down in this carousel. You can learn more about exactly what cerebral palsy is and all of its different types on cpresource.org here: https://cpresource.org/topic/what-cerebral-palsy

Don't forget, cerebral palsy looks different for every person who has it. What type of CP do you have and how does it affect your daily life? Let us know in the comments. 💚

Cerebral palsy doesn’t end in childhood — and neither should the conversation around care, community, and opportunity.

We're excited to share an upcoming event in Southern California: the Margaret Jones CP Conference and Family Forum, a day dedicated to exploring pathways to cerebral palsy care in adulthood. The afternoon Family Forum will center lived experience, practical resources, and real conversations about adulthood, health, and navigating systems of care.

The day also includes a morning professional conference featuring Mark Peterson from the University of Michigan, whose research on cerebral palsy in adulthood is helping shape the future of clinical care for people with CP.

Whether you’re a family member, adult with CP, clinician, or advocate, this event brings together the perspectives we need to move lifespan care forward — together.
