Triple P Positive Parenting Program

All of this is done through a strength-based and self-reflective approach that builds upon existing parenting strengths. The flexibility and scope of the system enables it to be offered in a variety of settings with a diverse range of practitioners and target populations. COPE’s practitioners are accredited on the wide array of curriculum created by this program.

  • Promote the independence and health of families through the enhancement of parents’ knowledge, skills, and confidence.
  • Further the development of non-violent, protective, and nurturing environments for children.

Yes. Triple P parenting courses are one of the most thoroughly researched parenting programs in the world. Studies have consistently shown improvements in child behavior, parental confidence, and family well-being. COPE Family Support has also chosen to use Triple P because we see it changing the lives of the families we serve.

The Triple P method is a strength-based and self-reflective approach that meets parents where they are. It ranges from brief educational sessions to more intensive, personalized support. At COPE, our diverse range of practitioners use Triple P parenting courses to help you improve communication, reduce conflict, and create consistency at home. These tools are particularly useful for families navigating separation, divorce, blended family transitions, or other recent life changes.

The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is designed to strengthen families and create healthier environments by:

  • Building confidence in parents by expanding their knowledge, skills, and sense of competence.
  • Promoting safe, supportive, and nurturing homes where children can thrive without fear of violence or neglect.
  • Supporting children’s development and growth while helping them build resilience, good health, and positive social skills.
  • Preventing serious problems later in life by reducing the risks of child maltreatment, behavioral or emotional struggles, academic failure, and issues like delinquency or substance use.

Encouraging self-sufficiency in parenting, giving families the tools they need to problem-solve and adapt as children grow.

It draws from principles in gentle parenting and aligns with it by promoting empathy, connection, and consistency rather than harsh punishment. However, they are not the same thing.

The duration of parenting classes varies depending on the specific program. Many COPE courses, including those based on the Triple P framework, are conducted over a number of weeks and consist of structured weekly sessions designed to support meaningful progress toward the program’s objectives.

COPE is committed to making high-quality, evidence-based parenting education accessible to all families. We accept a range of insurance plans and offer flexible payment options and sliding scale structure for most services to help ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation. Our goal is to support every parent in accessing the resources they need, regardless of financial circumstances.
