Parenting is hard. No matter how people prepare you, you can't get it until you're in it. And it's so much easier when you have help. The new Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) helps parents cope with the pandemic’s impact on family life.
“We know that parents are doing their best through a tough time. Triple P provides parents with practical skills they can quickly adopt to support their family,” said Jenny Hixon, Public Health Administrator overseeing Violence Prevention at Metro Health. “We’re grateful to our community partners who are committed to supporting all parents and innovating ways to provide Triple P.”
Triple P gives participants tips and ideas to help make family life calmer. It’s not a ‘one size’ fits all, but rather families can do as much, or as little, as they like, choosing what works best for them. Parents can select the level of Triple P that meets their needs, ranging from a seminar providing a basic overview of positive parenting strategies to an in-depth, 8-week parenting course.
Triple P is not only for parents. Grandparents, extended family members, and caregivers can also enroll for free at www.triplep-parenting.com/SA. Workshops are offered virtually, and parents can enroll in classes that fit their schedule and unique needs.
