AP-Friendly Professional Program $225/year
API developed the AP-Friendly Professionals program to facilitate the collaboration of professionals who promote Attachment Parenting through their work. It allows API to develop a network of individuals, professionals, and organizations to which we can refer members and request support for API projects. API recommends the AP-Friendly Professional Program to individuals who promote Attachment Parenting in their professional endeavors. AP-Friendly Professionals commit to supporting API and promoting The Eight Principles of Attachment Parenting.

Come take a look at the other professionals who are already a part of this program by viewing our resource listing page. As you can see, our program is still expanding and with your help we can make it grow even more!
Online Forums for Professionals
Another advantage to the AP-Friendly Professionals Program is that you have two forums you can part of. The Professional Networking forum is for the AP-Friendly Professionals and regular Professionals to join together and share their resources. Are you participating in an upcoming event and would like to see if other AP-Friendly Professionals will be there as well? Go and post on the forum. Are you looking for more information and need to see if other professionals might have? Go and post on the forum.
There is another forum that you'll be a part of: the AP-Friendly Professionals forum. This is restricted to only AP-Friendly Professionals. You can tell API about improvements you'd like to see made to the program, you can share your response to a FAQ that has come into API Headquarters, you can post an idea you'd like to share for the API Links but the best part is that you'll also have the opportunity to have the forum moderated for a certain time period each quarter by one of the founders of API, API Board of Directors, Advisory Board, or our Resource Advisory Council. You'll be able to use that time period for asking your questions directly to the moderator of the quarter!
As you can see, being a part of the AP-Friendly Professionals Program is a true benefit for you and your business. Please contact your Professional Member Liaison by email or at (800) 850-8320 at any time if you have questions or would like to join.
