Discover our programs

We offer a flexible range of over 25 programs designed to provide general parenting support or to meet specific needs. Our programs can be adapted to different contexts, whether online, in person, or in local communities, and are available in brief or more intensive formats.

For example, health care professionals might be interested in our program for new parents to support the transition to parenthood for first time parents or those with other challenges in their lives that affect them or their support network. Educational resource professionals could organize sessions with our seminars to introduce ideas like building resilience that will support the whole school community. Those who work closely with families, through home visiting, might find our individual programs helpful in engaging parents to achieve one goal at a time. Our more intensive programs, focused on challenges like parental emotions or coping skills, can be combined with parenting-skills focused programs to help those with more complex needs.

The diversity and flexibility of Triple P programs enable each individual and organization to select the interventions best suited to their context, thus promoting effective, personalized support for families.

The Positive Early Childhood Education Program (PECE) is an interactive, online professional learning program for the Early Learning and Care sector, enhancing educators confidence to provide responsive care and rich learning opportunities to promote children’s social and emotional skills.

Triple P: A flexible, cost-effective and efficient system.

The Triple P system is recognized by the United Nations as having the world's most comprehensive database of parenting research, spanning over 40 years.

The World Health Organization (WHO), in its report on violence prevention, cites the Triple P program as one of only two proven effective in preventing child abuse.

The Public Health Agency of Canada and the Institute of Health Economics reported that Triple P would pay for itself by reducing child behaviour disorders by 6.5%, while another study showed that Triple P prevents at least 26% of child behaviour disorders.

In Québec, an evaluation of the long-term effects of Triple P have demonstrated the sustained benefit, with parents reporting improvements in parenting practices, parental stress and distress, parent-child relationship quality, child emotional and behavioural challenges, and child maltreatment risk, two years after program completion.

In the five-year US Triple P System Population Trial, 18 counties were randomized to Triple P or services-as-usual control. When compared with the control counties, the Triple P counties showed significant decreases in child out-of-home placements, hospital-treated child maltreatment injuries, and rates of child maltreatment cases.

All Triple P interventions are supported by comprehensive, professionally produced resources for practitioners and parents. The content is based on best scientific practice, yet accessible and entertaining.
