Triple P—Positive Parenting Program

Strengthening Families efforts provide a cross-systems framework for family support and capacity building across the systems and programs that serve children and families. State and community initiatives are led by cross-system leadership teams generally representing a diverse set of disciplines, including early care and education, child abuse and neglect prevention, child welfare, home visiting and public health. In most states, Strengthening Families is being implemented broadly in settings as diverse as early childhood centers, family support programs, parenting programs and pediatric clinics. Connecting to these leadership teams provides an opportunity to place Triple P implementation in the context of broad crossdisciplinary thinking about how to leverage existing systems to support families and prevent abuse and neglect.
