Triple P Positive Parenting Group

Happier Families. Better Relationships.

This group is no longer accepting referrals. Please check back for updates on the next offering of this group.

Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is an evidence-based 8-week group intervention that offers parents simple and practical parenting skills and strategies. The program can be helpful for parents who have children ages 3 years to 11 years with challenging behaviors and who would like to learn new ideas and to gain support from other parents in a similar situation. It can also be helpful for parents who simply want to gain confidence and new ideas in parenting, especially given the additional and unusual challenges of parenting during a pandemic.

HOW to REFER to Triple P: Interested parents are invited to complete the PPP Intake Information Form. The Director will then contact the parent to schedule a short telephone intake screen to discuss the program and determine whether it is a good fit for their family.

FACILITATORS: Dr. Marjory Phillips (supervisor) with experienced graduate students in clinical psychology

COST: $200 for the 8 week program, plus $30 for the parenting workbook
