Why Triple P?
Triple P supports parents in raising confident, healthy children.
Triple P gives parents the practical skills they need to build strong family relationships, manage misbehavior and prevent problems from happening in the first place.
Triple P doesn't tell people how to parent, rather it gives them simple and practical strategies they can adapt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs.
Triple P also recognizes that one size doesn't fit all. It's a system that offers increasing levels of support to meet parents' different needs.
Who should be trained in Triple P?
Maternal and child health nurses, private practice or community mental health providers, home visitors, family physicians, pediatricians, child care workers, teachers, children’s special services counselors, school counselors, and allied health professionals who work with children in the age range of 0-5. Triple P is designed for outside of this age range, however, this grant focuses on early childhood.
