Santa Barbara Graduate Institute was open for 12 years. Unfortunately, it is no longer open and there are no known higher education programs in Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology in North America. Although there are no longer graduate degree programs, Dr. McCarty and Dr. Glenn, as co-creators of those programs, can offer training and mentoring to support further learning in these areas.
Additional Resources
The Association for Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health (APPPAH) offers a variety of avenues for further learning and additional resources, including a certificate program and conferences.
APPPAH is a public-benefit educational and scientific organization that offers many avenues of learning, participating and collaborating within a community that celebrates and honors the consciousness of babies as both sentient consciousness and sensitive human being from the beginning of life.
APPPAH educates professionals and the public worldwide, as shown through scientific discoveries and continually emerging evidence, that prenatal and perinatal experiences have a profound impact on the subsequent quality of health and human behavior and that life is a continuum which starts before conception, not after birth. The Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health focuses attention on the life-changing discoveries being made in the first period of human development from preparation for pregnancy through the postpartum period and establishment of breastfeeding.
