Vision and mission
The overarching aim of the Triple P system is to reduce the prevalence rates of serious social, emotional, and behavioural problems in children and the level of child maltreatment in the community. It seeks to achieve these outcomes by making high-quality EBPS programs widely available to all parents.
How Triple P can help
Triple P provides a suite of interventions to parents of children from birth to 16 years. Interventions are of increasing intensity and tailored to target particular demographics or parenting groups, including parents of children with a disability, parents going through separation or divorce, parents of children who are overweight, and First Nations parents. It aims to equip parents with the skills and confidence they need to be self-sufficient and manage family issues without ongoing support.
