Larissa Haring, facilitator of C&A’s Triple P program and program facilitator at Gibbs, wrote, "Staff have noticed one of the fathers who participated in Triple P has had more positive interactions with their child when at school The school also reports that in turn they are seeing a positive behavior change within the student throughout the school day as a result This speaks volumes to the good work that can be done with families and how the impact goes farther than to parents alone ”

Strange shared, “The number of parents fluctuates based off of parent need/interest and parent’s schedules,” wrote Strange “Some come to every parent group and other parents pick what topics they feel will benefit them

“Parents have been receptive and look forward to the discussions It has helped parents/guardians to understand they are not alone, that other parents/guardians and even staff members are going through the same things We have a variety of parents with a variety of needs ”

C&A is a valuable community asset that offers a worthwhile program Strange discussed what a tremendous resource for Canton City Schools to utilize “The Triple P program offers parents realistic strategies to use during difficult parenting moments,” wrote Strange “The program also provides parents with a sense of community and helps to validate feelings of isolation that can often come with parenting difficulties The program also shows that counseling is beneficial to families and creates and open and safe space for them

Parents/guardians can be resistant to counseling and Triple P can help show them how beneficial it can be.”
