ADVANCED PRACTICE REPRODUCTIVE PSYCHIATRY INSTITUTE
Building Advanced Practice Expertise Across the Reproductive Lifespan
WELCOME TO APRPI
Advanced Practice Education for Reproductive Mental Health Across the Lifespan
The Advanced Practice Reproductive Psychiatry Institute helps nurse practitioners, midwives, and physician associates bring confident, evidence-based reproductive mental health care to every patient they serve. We believe great education is relationship-centered, trauma-informed, and grounded in the realities of everyday practice.

Learn About ConsultingOUR MISSION
Every clinician supported. Every patient seen.
Every clinician supported. Every patient seen.
Reproductive transitions can profoundly shape mental health across the lifespan, yet advanced practice clinicians often have limited access to specialized education designed for the care they provide.
APRPI exists to change that. We equip advanced practice clinicians with the knowledge, clinical frameworks, and community they need to navigate reproductive mental health with confidence—from menstruation and fertility through pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause.
Our goal is simple: better-prepared clinicians and better care for the patients who trust them.

OUR EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Expertise grows in community.
We believe clinicians learn best when rigorous evidence meets thoughtful conversation. Our programs are intentionally small enough for real questions, honest enough to explore complex cases and clinical uncertainty, and practical enough to influence what happens in your next patient visit.
Our teaching is evidence-informed, trauma-aware, inclusive, and grounded in real-world practice. We recognize the whole person behind every clinical decision—while honoring the diverse patients, families, clinicians, and communities we serve.
Come ready to think, question, discuss, and leave with something you can use.
VOICES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
Kind words from colleagues
“Foundations gave me a framework I can actually use in practice. I feel much more confident approaching medication decisions during pregnancy and having those conversations with my patients.”
“Clinical Conversations is the hour I protect every month. Real cases, real evidence, and a community that understands exactly what my visits look like.”
“I came to consulting with questions about a complex case and left with a clearer way to think through similar cases in my own practice.”

QUESTIONS
You might be wondering
Who are APRPI programs designed for?
Our programs are built for advanced practice clinicians — psychiatric and women’s health nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives, physician associates, and clinical nurse specialists — as well as the physicians and educators who work alongside them.
Are the trainings live or self-paced?
Live, always. We believe the best learning happens in conversation, so the Intensive and Clinical Conversations meet in real time, virtually, with generous space for questions and case discussion.
How do I know which program is right for me?
Start with the Intensive for a strong foundation, join Clinical Conversations to keep it alive month to month, and reach for Individual Consulting when you want personal mentorship. Still unsure? Write to us — we’re happy to help you choose.
