(Positive Parenting Program)
Triple P in South Carolina
Children’s Trust is working to activate the Positive Parenting Program, known as Triple P, across South Carolina with support from The Duke Endowment and the BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation.
This work is building a model prevention system that can be replicated across South Carolina to change the state’s approach to the prevention of child maltreatment. It includes making Triple P Online available throughout the state.
This innovative work funds local organizations to implement Triple P in their communities.

How It Works
With more than 35 years of ongoing research, Triple P is an effective, evidence-based parenting program. It offers simple, practical strategies to help parents build strong, healthy relationships, confidently manage their children’s behavior and promote positive child development. Triple P has been shown to work across cultures, socio-economic groups and in many kinds of family structures.
Managed through a local coordinating agency, services are provided to families by a variety of community-based service organizations including pediatric practices, nonprofits, libraries, schools and churches.
