WHAT IS GROUP TRIPLE P?

Group Triple P is a broad-based parenting intervention delivered over eight weeks for parents of children up to 12 years old and who are interested in learning a variety of parenting skills. Parents may be interested in promoting their child’s development and potential or they may have concerns about their child’s behavioral problems. The program is delivered  in five group sessions of 2-2.5 hours’ duration and three, 30-minute individual telephone sessions. It is delivered by one practitioner and up to 12  families attend the group sessions.  Parents actively participate in a range of  exercises to learn about the causes of child behavior problems, setting specific goals, and using strategies to promote child development, manage misbehavior and plan for high-risk situations. 

WHO IS IT FOR? 

Parents of children up to age 12 with concerns about their child’s behavior, who need intensive training in positive parenting, or those who wish to learn a variety of parenting skills to apply to multiple contexts. These parents will need to commit to 8 weeks of group sessions and individual appointments. 

WHAT ARE TRIPLE P DISCUSSION GROUPS?

The Triple P Discussion Group Series includes parent discussion groups on commonly encountered problems such as disobedience, fighting and aggression, and managing situations such as shopping with children and bedtime. The discussion groups are  delivered by one practitioner and designed to provide an overview of the positive parenting principles for any interested parent. Parents are actively involved throughout the 2-hour small group format discussions. Each family receives a Triple P Discussion Group Workbook on the corresponding topic they are attending  and a certificate of completion. 

WHO IS IT FOR? 

Parents or caregivers up to age 12 with a specific concern about their child’s behavior. They are most likely to benefit when their concerns are around a relatively discreet, mild to moderate behavioral issue and when parents can independently implement parenting plans that are generated during each 2-hour group discussion
