APERIO - Společnost pro zdravé rodičovství, z.s. (APERIO - Society for Healthy Parenting) is a Czech registered association (z.s.) that supports expectant and new parents through education, counseling, and evidence-based information. Operating since 2001, the organization describes itself as a reliable guide for parents on their life journey, offering professional advice, educational programs, and support so that parents can raise children with joy and healthy self-esteem. Its stated vision is to be the first choice for all parents seeking professional advice and support, contributing to the quality of family life through education and prevention. Aperio's core activities include childbirth education courses, prenatal and postpartum programs, webinars on newborn care and children's digital health, and a counseling center for mothers and fathers that receives around 4,000 parents annually. It publishes the Aperio Czech Maternity Guide, which helps parents choose a maternity hospital based on what matters to them, and offers free resources such as the e-book and audiobook "Pregnant" and the mobile app "expecting - your guide through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum - and growing." The organization also addresses the needs of foreign parents in the Czech Republic, providing information on registration at maternity hospitals, health insurance, and social security, as well as coordination of social systems across EU states. Aperio operates primarily in the Czech Republic, with an English-language section of its website serving international audiences. It runs an e-shop and maintains a blog. The organization is led by Director Jana Marková, with a team covering finance, counseling, project management, communications and fundraising, office management, coordination, commercial services, data and IT systems, PR, and helpline methods. Its values include respect, responsibility, free choice, transparency, equal access to opportunities, and openness to change. As a registered association, it is a private non-profit entity rather than a listed company.
