Indigenous Triple P

Indigenous Positive Parenting Solutions is a program that gives simple solutions to common problems so that your children will be strong and proud - and so will you. Elders from urban and remote Indigenous communities helped create Indigenous Triple P.

What happens?

Indigenous Triple P brings together a small group of parents from your community with a specially trained practitioner to share Triple P with you. You will see a DVD which shows how the triple P Parenting tips work in real life and you will also be given a work book that will give you more of the ideas and information that you'll need to start positive parenting straight away at home. Your Triple P Practitioner will also give you plenty of help along the way. They can even come to your place to support you as you put your new skills into practice. You will be amazed at how small changes can make big differences!

Who is this for?

• parents of Indigenous children from birth to 12 years
• parents of indigenous teenagers

How long does it take?

Six sessions of just two hours are held over a few months and in between, you will be practicing the triple P tips at home. Your Triple P practitioner will call you or come to your place to find out how you are goinmg and offer advice if you are having any trouble.

Triple P can help you
