Triple P - Positive Parenting Program
What is the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program?
* Small changes, big differences - keep in touch with your children *
Raising healthy and well adjusted children who have the skills for adult life can be a stressful process for most parents, and at times can push even the most confident of parents to the ‘brink’. Learning to handle day to day developmental, behavioural and emotional changes can be taxing, and as we well know children do not arrive at birth with a manual in tow! It is known that parenting is one of the hardest jobs faced in life - it takes time to develop the skills and knowledge to promote development in children.
So - where do parents go to learn the necessary skills and knowledge needed to raise their children? What help is available for parents facing challenging behaviours, emotional ups and downs and developmental changes?
One avenue is the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program, designed to prevent severe behavioural, emotional and developmental problems in children by enhancing the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents. Triple P is a multi-level intervention program for parents of children from birth to age 12. The program also extends to address concerns of parents of young people aged 12 to 16.
The tiered multi-level strategy recognises that parents have differing needs with regards to the type, intensity and mode of parenting assistance. The Triple P system is designed as such to maximise efficiency and ensure it reaches the community at large. Triple P has been developed with over 20 years of research trials; the program has been well tested internationally and found useful for many parents from various cultural backgrounds.
Through Brisbane South Division's 'Connecting Communities' program, we offer FREE training to GPs, Nurses, Teachers, Community and Health Workers and Allied Health Professionals in the multi-levels of Triple P to increase the availability of Triple P for parents in the Brisbane South Region.
Triple P - Positive Parenting Program Options:
The Triple P - Positive Parenting Program doesn’t assume ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to providing parenting support for families. We know each family has its own special needs and concerns - that's why we offer a suite of interventions with different levels of intensity. As parents, you can decide which level will suit your family and even within those levels, there is a choice of delivery methods for example one to one and group based intervention
The Triple P - Positive Parenting Program caters for parents of children aged 0 to 12 years and parents of teenagers.
