This is a professional group with common beliefs and interests in perinatal psychology and health. The Perinatal Psychology online group is an off shoot of BEPE East (Birth and Early Parenting Educators).
Involvement is on an individual basis via email, with random gatherings at birth events including APPPAH congresses.

Pre and Perinatal Psychology is still an emerging field, though womb babies have been trying to get their parents’ attention since the first child was conceived. The practice of perinatal psychology is a delicate balance of social, emotional, cognitive and psychological development of the baby before during and just after birth. It is a dance of medicine and spirituality, a painting of emotional and physical, and a song of science and primal energy.

In this group we share our professional activities and conferences, publications, classes, community events and other general educational and supportive activities.

Talking to a baby, acknowledging a baby, and loving a baby are the most important interactions that can take place during pregnancy. They will not only lead to strong emotional health, but also prepare baby's mind to learn, discover and grow for a prosperous and joyful life.
