It is a pleasure and a privilege to welcome you to the APPPAH 20th International Congress! Our Congress Chair, Co-Chair, and Committee are looking forward to hosting this special event at the beautiful Town and Country Resort and Convention Center in sunny San Diego, California. We are beyond ecstatic to have you!

New times require new leaders, capable of bringing increased creativity and awareness to their work with the knowledge and skills required to be agents of positive change. In periods of significant scientific, psychological, and social transformation, old paradigms begin to erode, and new ways of thinking, leading, and interacting spring into action. The APPPAH 20th International Congress is designed to spotlight these new discoveries and open windows into ways of thinking appropriate for an interconnected pre- and perinatal global learning environment.

Biannually, the APPPAH International Congress brings together an unmatched educational program, renowned keynote speakers, interactive workshops, community-building special events, and the richness of a wide variety of life experiences and geographic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. The splendor of a multiplicity of voices is central to the APPPAH mission. Join your colleagues and hundreds of dedicated professionals from around the world to learn about cutting edge pre- and perinatal psychological theory and knowledge, revolutionizing how leaders approach their work.

Whether you are a seasoned professional, brand new to the field, or somewhere in between, there is something for everyone at the APPPAH 20th International Congress. Drawing on the theory and practice of pre- and perinatal psychology, we invite you to bring your whole being – mind, body, and soul – to participate together in forging a new paradigm of effective leadership!
