The Triple P - Positive Parenting Programme knows all parents have different needs. That's why Triple P has many different ways for you to get your parenting help. So you can choose what will suit you and your family best.
Who should apply?
This program is for parents or carers of children aged between 11 and 16 years of age. Teen Triple P supports families experiencing common teen-related challenges like defiance, mood swings, poor communication, or school issues or for anyone wanting to strengthen their relationship with their teen and guide them through adolescence with more calm and confidence.
You may feel your teen's behaviour has become too much too handle. At home you may find there is a lot of shouting and very little agreement, or you may find you don't bother trying to talk anymore and feel like you have lost your relationship with your young person. If these sound familiar, then Teen Triple P can help get you and your teenager back on track.
What is Teen Triple P?
Positive Parenting for a Smoother Teen Journey
Teen Triple P is a practical, proven programme that gives parents and carers the skills and confidence to handle the ups and downs of raising teenagers. It's designed to help you navigate the teen years with less stress, more clarity, and stronger relationships at home.
From the start, you'll be given tips and suggestions to suit the needs of your family. You'll see scenes from the program videos, which will show you how the ideas work in real life. And your workbook will give you the tools and information you need to start positive parenting straight away at home. Your Teen Triple P provider will guide you every step of the way and even provide backup phone support as you put your new skills into practice. The course can help build a better relationship with your teenager, reduce conflict, keep your teenager safe, be realistic about parenting and also take care of yourself.
What can I expect from the programme?
Teen Triple P groups are friendly, supportive, and run by trained practitioners. Over the course of 8 weekly group sessions, you'll meet with other parents of teens to learn strategies, share experiences, and support one another through common parenting challenges.
Sessions are relaxed and engaging, with real-life examples, interactive discussions, and take-home tools you can use right away. Our programme also includes two one-on-one phone sessions to tailor strategies to your family's needs.
Usually, each session lasts no more than two and a half hours at a time. In all, you'll attend no more than five face - to - face group sessions - the first four should give you the tips you need to start positive parenting. Then, you'll have two weeks to practise Teen Triple P at home. Those calls will last about 15 minutes. Finally, you'll meet up with your group and Teen Triple P provider for one last session. This is a chance to go over any problems you may still have - and to congratulate yourself on how far you've come!
