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 organise 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 organisation to select the interventions best suited to their context, thus promoting effective, personalized support for families.

We can help you determine the best program for you here.
