Triple P is a parenting program designed to improve outcomes for children up to the age of 16. Developed over 25 years at the University of Queensland in Australia, it includes public health-style preventative strategies with the potential to reach all children and their families, as well as offering early interventions and treatments for children with specified problems.
The program is also available in a wide range of formats intended to accommodate families and communities with different needs and preferences as to the type, intensity and the mode of assistance they require (for example, families living in urban or rural areas). It seeks to prevent severe behavioral, emotional and developmental problems by improving the knowledge, skills and confidence of parents.
