Triple P is an evidence-based, international model that offers parents simple and practical strategies to help them confidently manage their children’s behavior, prevent problems from developing, and build strong, healthy relationships. Project Enlightenment, an early childhood education and intervention program of the Wake County Public School System, has provided the Triple P training and certification for more than 200 staff in places and spaces where families visit, play or seek services in Raleigh. Partner organizations include agencies that already provide social-emotional, health and education services.Triple P Raleigh August 2015
