Triple P Providers
Accredited Triple P providers are the backbone of the Triple P - Positive Parenting Program Initiative here in South Carolina. As a provider you are on the forefront of a new movement in our state to improve not just parenting skills but the overall relationship between parents and their children.
Triple P can provide its accredited practitioners with many resources including resupply of materials, a newsletter with ideas on how to implement and optimize the use of Triple P in your practice or organization, free promotional materials you can use to tell your community about the Triple P services you provide, and a link to a wider network of Triple P practitioners around the world.
We'd also like to know how you're using Triple P and how many families you're using the program with. Please use our simple activity reporting form to keep us up-to-date!
If you are not yet an accredited Triple P provider, but work with families of young children in the counties listed below and wish to become one, please fill out a request for more information and we will be in touch with you.
What is Triple P?
Triple P consists of a multi-level strategy, recognizing that parents have differing needs and desires regarding the type, intensity and mode of assistance they may require. This tiered system is designed to maximize efficiency, contain costs and ensure the program has wide reach in the community.
The program targets five different developmental periods from infancy to adolescence. Within each developmental period the reach of the intervention can vary from being very broad (targeting an entire population) or quite narrow (targeting only high-risk children). Triple P has been developed through more than 25 years of research by Matt Sanders, Ph.D. and colleagues at The University of Queensland’s Parenting and Family Support Center. The system is already widely used throughout Australia and increasingly, throughout the world.
Building Connections, a federally funded initiative operated through the University of South Carolina, is working to disseminate the Triple P system of interventions in select counties in South Carolina. The goal is to make Triple P professional training available to practitioners who serve families with children in the birth though 7-year-old range in the following counties:
Low Country: Berkeley, Dorchester, Georgetown
Midlands/Pee Dee: Darlington, Kershaw, Sumter
Upstate: Laurens, Pickens, York
