Regional Triple P seminars and groups

There are two ways you can attend Triple P positive parenting programs with Families NSW - by either attending a group or a seminar session.

Groups - the great thing about doing a Triple P Group Course is that the groups are small (typically 10 – 12 people) and you’ll feel immediately at home with a group of parents who all want the same thing – to do the best for their kids and have an enjoyable family life! Groups are run by an accredited Triple P practitioner. There are four two-hour group sessions (once per week), followed by three 15 – 30min telephone calls (once per week), addressing your individual progress and then a final group session.

At a group you'll learn about:
-effective parenting strategies,
-how to promote your child’s development,
-how to manage common child behaviour problems
-principles to help you deal with almost any situation that might arise

Seminars - in around 90 minutes each, this series of three seminars will leave you feeling more confident and competent and ready to deal with common child behavioural and emotional issues.

This is a great way to cover key areas we know many parents want information and help with including:
-Understanding general parenting issues, why children tend to behave in certain ways under certain influences, and what they best respond to.
-Dealing decisively and effectively with behaviours such as aggression, non-cooperation and disobedience.
-Recognising and managing situations that might be less obvious such as sadness, anxiety, difficulty with separation and problems mixing with other children.
