ICAN has educated me on my rights and the choices I can make in delivery. The leaders and fellow meeting attendants helped me to realize my first birth should not have gone the way it did, and have helped me to heal emotionally from it.

Support your chapter!

Local chapters are the beating heart of our organization. They know the birth culture, providers, and even laws and regulations that can affect birthers. Participate in peer to peer conversations, attend meetings, and spread the word (boost their social media and word of mouth)! If you join as an ICAN Member don’t forget to mark which chapter you’d like a portion of the member fee to go to!
