VISION: APPPAH illuminates the life-long impact of conception, pregnancy and birth on babies, families and society.

MISSION : APPPAH's mission is to educate professionals and the public about, and advocate for, the life-changing discoveries made in the area of prenatal and perinatal psychology and health.

We accomplish our mission by:

• Creating conferences, workshops, and other educational opportunities
• Publishing a peer-reviewed Journal, Newsletter, and several Directories
• Maintaining a website containing APPPAH archives, a specialized bookstore, and key papers and topics in birth psychology
• Promoting research
• Partnering with local, regional, national and international groups with similar interests, and
• Advocating for a new era of pregnancy and birth honoring the consciousness of babies and parents, and the prevention of prenatal and perinatal trauma. 

APPPAH is an international forum for parents and professionals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines interested in all  dimensions of prenatal and perinatal experience.  First registered as a charity in Canada, APPPAH subsequently became a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) educational foundation in the United States. The Association is comprised of  a committed and active Board of Directors, an Executive Director, members and volunteers .

Our support comes from membership dues, grants from small foundations, fundraising activities led by board members, monetary and in-kind donations, sponsorship of conferences, book and journal sales from the website, and special support for the Journal and website needed to meet special challenges and opportunities.
