The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program – parenting help for families.
Triple P was developed by clinical psychologist Professor Matt Saunders and colleagues at Australia s University of Queensland and designed to give parents the skills they need to raise confident, healthy children and teenagers building stronger family relationships.
Triple P doesn’t tell people how to parent. Rather, it gives parents simple and practical strategies they can adapt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs. The benefits can be dramatic and long-lasting.
Professor Sanders says “Children who grow up with positive parenting are more likely to develop the skills they need to do well at schoolwork, build friendships, and feel good about themselves,”
The Triple P system itself comes in varying levels of support to meet parents different needs.

Local practitioners delivering the courses come from a range of professions like Social Care, Education, Psychology and Social Work.
