Triple P – Positive Parenting Programs
Positive Parenting Programs are designed to help parents improve their parenting skills and build positive relationships with their children.
Because parents all have different needs, Triple P has many different ways to get positive parenting help. You choose what is best for you and your family. Below is a list of Triple P programs and our trained Early Learning Specialists who are available to provide support.

You’re divorced or separated. Your child is caught in the middle. You may have problems with your extended family, your new partner or your ex. Holidays and birthdays cause arguments.

If any of this sounds familiar, Family Transitions Triple P can help

Being a parent should be easier than this! Perhaps you can’t take your daughter shopping because she throws a tantrum every time. Or maybe you have a child who makes bedtime a nightmare. Or a son who never seems to listen to anything you tell him to do.
If your child has a particular behaviour problem that is making family life more difficult than it should be, then Primary Care Triple P can help. Primary Care Triple P gives guidance that is tailored to help you with specific issues.

You have a child with an intellectual or physical disability, and life is incredibly tough. Your child may seem unwilling or unable to follow instructions or master new skills. Perhaps they have terrible tantrums or emotional meltdowns. Maybe they can’t make friends or play with their siblings.
As for you, stress is a constant. Holding down a job may be too difficult. You may feel isolated from your friends, your community – perhaps even from your partner or your other children. You possibly feel guilty and don’t know how to tackle your child’s problem behaviour. If the pressure of raising a child with a special need is straining your family life, Stepping Stones Triple P may help.

Super Men, Super Kids
This is an activity based program for children and the male figures in their lives. There are 8 sessions, each designed to give men and children time together in a fun activity and for men to discuss relevant topics together.
Parents as Partners
Parents are experts with their own children. The goal of these parenting sessions is to empower parents and caregivers to connect and engage with their children. We have invited resource speakers who are experts in various fields to talk to families about different topics based on interests and needs.
Let’s Talk
Parenting is not always easy and it helps to know we are not alone. This program provides time for parents/caregivers to come together to network and share their parenting experience and challenges. Community partners may also join to offer their expertise. Settle in for an hour just for you!
