The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is one of the world’s most highly-regarded evidence-based parenting interventions, used by millions. It has been named by the United Nations as the most extensively researched program of its kind, with positive results in hundreds of evaluation studies. HIGH-QUALITY PARENTING AND EARLY EDUCATION CAN CHANGE LIFE OUTCOMES. • Childhood trauma is now known to increase the likelihood of poor mental and physical health, and related issues such as crime, suicide, teenage and adult mental health problems and substance abuse. • Early intervention is important, but prevention is even better. • Secure attachment and a positive learning environment support greater academic achievement (and social mobility for children from disadvantaged families). • Evidence-based parenting support has been found to be effective in treating ADHD symptoms and conduct disorders. The Triple P System offers proven solutions. Developed by clinical psychologist Professor Matt Sanders and colleagues at the Parenting and Family Support Centre at The University of Queensland (Australia), Triple P is supported by more than four decades of ongoing research conducted by 447 academic institutions in 37 countries. The Triple P System, a suite of programs offering varying levels of support, is scalable and flexible, with online options – so the right level of parenting support can reach an entire community or region efficiently and effectively. Triple P International (TPI) is also at the forefront of implementation science, providing agencies with tools and systems to monitor and improve sustainable program delivery. TPI is a Certified B Corporation®. Supporting parents doesn’t just reduce the rate of child maltreatment and neglect. Optimizing children’s emotional wellbeing helps create greater social cohesion, community capacity, and better outcomes for individuals — and entire regions.

ZERO TO THREE is a national nonprofit organization that informs, trains and supports professionals, policymakers and parents in their efforts to improve the lives of infants and toddlers. Neuroscientists have documented that our earliest days, weeks and months of life are a period of unparalleled growth when trillions of brain cell connections are made. Research and clinical experience also demonstrate that health and development are directly influenced by the quality of care and experiences a child has with his parents and other adults. That is why at ZERO TO THREE our mission is to ensure all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life. We know that as babies, the way we are held, talked to and cared for teaches us about who we are and how we are valued. This profoundly shapes who we will become. Early experiences set a course for a lifelong process of discovery about ourselves and the world around us. Simply put, early experiences matter.
