Association for Pre- & Perinatal Psychology and Health: explore the many mental and emotional dimensions of pregnancy and birth.

APPPAH was founded as a forum for individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines interested in psychological dimensions of prenatal and perinatal experiences. Typically, this includes childbirth educators, birth assistants, doulas, midwives, obstetricians, nurses, social workers, perinatologists, pediatricians, psychologists, counselors, researchers, and teachers at all levels.

ISPPM is devoted to the initial phase of human development - prenatal and perinatal life. ISPPM considers this earliest stage of life as the first ecological position of the human being and the womb as its first ecological environment.
