About the Course
The Primary Care Teen Triple P is a one-day training for participants who have completed the 2-day Primary Care Triple P.
Primary Care Teen Triple P is the third of five levels of family intervention for parents with teenagers. Primary Care Teen Triple P may be delivered as a universal parenting support strategy, but it may also be implemented as an early intervention strategy for parents whose adolescents currently have, or are at risk of developing, oppositional, disruptive or aggressive behaviours. All five levels of intervention in the Triple P model aim to enhance parents' self-sufficiency in interacting with their adolescents through the use of positive parenting practices. Triple P ultimately aims to support parents to promote their adolescent's social, emotional, and behavioural development. This training course specifically addresses the implementation of Primary Care Teen Triple P, a 4-session program delivered individually to families who have one or two behavioural concerns (e.g. managing family conflict).
The Primary Care Teen Triple P Provider Training Course is designed for practitioners who offer advice and support to parents during brief consultation through primary care services and other community agencies. These services have wide reach in the community and are readily accessible to parents. The course provides practical, skills-based training in a range of consultation skills necessary for the delivery of time-limited, effective interventions with families. Varied teaching methods are used, including didactic presentations, DVD and live demonstrations, clinical problem-solving exercises, simulated practice of consultation skills and peer-tutoring.
