Group Workshops

Small changes, big differences.

Who should do Triple P Group Workshops?

Þ Parents who are struggling in the management of their children’s behaviour.

Þ Parents whose children misbehave frequently (eg. violent outbursts, swearing, not following instructions, running away, involved in risky behaviours, intense sibling rivalry, show disrespect to adults etc.)

Þ Parents who wish to change how they are parenting their children.

Þ Parents who think they are not doing a good job as a parent.

Þ Parents who feel ‘out of control’.

Þ Parents whose children frequently get into trouble at school, nursery or in public.

Þ Parents who frequently make excuses or apologize for their children's behaviour to others.

Þ Parents whose children have ADD/ADHD*.

Þ Parents who frequently blame others for their children’s misbehavior (eg. nanny, visitors, friends, teacher, another parent or relative, exposure to inappropriate media etc) .

Þ Parents who find some specific issues very difficult (eg. managing emotions, routines, sibling rivalry, meal times, managing children’s behaviour in public places etc.).

Þ Parents who have been encouraged by other professionals (eg. teachers, medical practitioners) to seek help with the behaviour management of their children.

*Data from the NHMRC trial of over 300 children has demonstrated that Group Triple P is equally as effective with children with a significant level of ADHD symptomatology as measured by the ADHD factor of the Eyberg Child Behavior Inventory (ECBI: Eyberg & Pincus, 1999) as with other children.
