Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) Overview: The Triple P System is a suite of interventions that enhances the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents and caregivers of youth. Triple P gives parents clear strategies to respond to their child's needs and remain calm, promoting attachment as children learn and meet developmental milestones.
