Parenting and family services
Triple P
Northern region
Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is an evidence-based program that provides parents or caregivers with simple, practical strategies to build strong, healthy relationships while confidently managing their children's behaviour.
Triple P uses a strengths-based and self-regulatory approach that builds on existing parenting skills.
Triple P does not tell parents how to raise their children. Rather, it offers simple and practical strategies that parents can adopt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs.
How is Triple P delivered?
Triple P can be delivered in a range of ways to meet the unique needs of the family, including one-to-one, small groups or large groups (in-person or online):
- Primary care - one-to-one support for families with children (0-12 years) with a focus on assisting parents to address specific parenting concerns (up to 3 months)
- Seminars
- Parent groups (weekly/fortnightly 90 minute sessions for 6 weeks).
Triple P Fear Less program
Triple P's Fear Less program supports parents to learn new strategies for managing their child's (6-14 years) anxiety. Our Fear Less program offers one-to-one support, seminars and parent groups.
Triple P is an evidence-based program that aims to:
Strength the parent's capacity to support their children's safety, stability, development and wellbeing.
