ABOUT THE PROGRAM: PARENTING SUPPORT SERVICES
The Parenting Support Services program encompasses 3 separate programs: Triple P Standard, Triple P Teen, and Circle of Security. PSS is designed to help parents become resourceful problem solvers. As a result, parents will be able to create a positive and safe home learning environment for their children to develop emotional, behavioral, and cognitive strengths. PSS provides 8-10 sessions in-home, with an evidence-based curriculum. It involves a thorough assessment of parent-child interactions, the application of intervention skills to a broad range of child/teen target behaviors, and the use of relationship enhancement strategies, to promote parental autonomy. Most parents completing the program significantly reduce their use of corporal punishment and other coercive parenting strategies, while building a more positive relationship with their child.
