Overview of Level 5 Enhanced & Level 5 Pathways Triple P

• Enhanced Triple P consists of four different modules (Practice Sessions; Coping Skills; Partner Support; Maintaining Progress & Closure) delivered in 3-8 one-on-one sessions. The modules address family factors that may impact and complicate the task of parenting (e.g. parental mood, partner conflict). Parents can choose which modules to complete. Enhanced Triple P can be offered to parents who completed a Level 3 program (one-on-one or brief group) or a Level 4 program and post-assessment results indicate they could benefit from extra support to make or maintain changes in parenting.

• Pathways Triple P is an intensive program for parents who have difficulty regulating their emotions or persistently misunderstand the reasons for their children’s behavior, and as a result may be at risk of physically or emotionally harming their children. Three modules, delivered in 2-5 one-on-one or group sessions, support parents to understand “parent traps;” understand the impact of their beliefs and behaviors on their children; and learn how to recognize, understand, and manage anger. Pathways Triple P can be offered to parents who completed a Level 3 program (one-on-one or brief group) or a Level 4 program.

• Practitioners use a combination of assessments, workbooks, videos, role plays, coaching, and “homework” to help parents/caregivers set their own goals; develop and implement parenting plans that are tailored to their cultural, linguistic, and family needs; and track and maintain progress.

 

Minimum Service Delivery Requirement (to receive free training & parent resources)

• 4 – 6 parents per year, per practitioner (Enhanced and/or Pathways sessions)
