How do I do Triple P?The great thing is that Triple P is not “one size fits all”. You can do as much – or as little – as you like. You can do Triple P one-to-one or in a group with other parents. You can do one or two quick sessions or have ongoing support. You can even do Triple P at home online! You choose what’s best for you.

Triple P is there to support families through the different stages of a child’s life. It allows you to discuss anything you are struggling with.
