ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
Parent 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.
