Teen 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.

Teen 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 youth ages 11 years to 16 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. The group will be facilitated by PPP certified facilitator Dr. Marjory Phillips in conjunction with a resident and senior doctoral student in clinical psychology.

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. When groups are full or not currently open for referrals, intakes will be added to the waitlist for future groups.

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
