COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP SPOTLIGHT: GIBBS ELEMENTARY

Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health (C&A) through a United Way grant is partnering with Canton City Schools Gibbs Elementary School to provide Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) classes for parents

Triple P gives families positive strategies that are proven to work The program is adaptable to suit any situation Triple P is a toolbox and not a rulebook As a parent, you choose what tools to use, when and how The program is used in more than 25 countries

Stacie Strange, who works at Gibbs Elementary, wrote about a difference the Triple P program is making at Gibbs

“It is absolutely working,” wrote Strange “There are multiple students that shown (behavioral) improvements The strategies that are taught and discussed are very beneficial Behaviors and attitudes can stem from what and how a parent/guardian feels and is going through So, helping parents/guardians in turn helps students ”
