Triple P 

The Triple P Positive Parenting Program is designed as a comprehensive population-level system of parenting and family support for families having at least one child in the birth to 12-year-old range. The multilevel system includes five intervention levels of increasing intensity and narrowing population reach. The system is designed to enhance parental competence and prevent or alter dysfunctional parenting practices, thereby reducing an important set of family risk factors, both for child maltreatment and for children's behavioral and emotional problems. In the Triple P system, a media and communication strategy is utilized extensively in a sophisticated and strategic manner to Normalize and acknowledge the difficulties of parenting experiences, to break down parental sense of social isolation regarding parenting, to de-stigmatize getting help, to impart parenting information directly to parents, and to alter the community context for parenting.

In a population level version of Triple P, the existing workforce crossing several disciplines and settings (such as family and social support services, preschool/child-care settings, elementary schools, and other community entities with direct contact with families) is trained to deliver the Triple P system of interventions. They in turn deliver Triple P to parents in 1-10 or more sessions tailored to the severity of the family's dysfunction and/or child's behavioral problems.
