Triple P Program @ Bull Creek Primary School

Our free Triple P seminars and discussion groups give you simple, practical strategies to help you raise a happy and confident child.

Children thrive when they are raised in a nurturing environment. The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program gives Mums, Dads and Carers ideas and strategies to help their child develop the skills and behaviours they need for a healthy childhood. Triple P is one of the world’s most effective parenting programs. Developed by Clinical Psychologist Professor Matt Sanders and his colleagues at the University of Queensland, Triple P has been tested with thousands of families through ongoing research over more than 30 years!

 

Triple P doesn’t tell people how to parent. Rather, it offers simple and practical strategies that parents can adapt to suit their own values, beliefs and needs. The benefits can be dramatic and long-lasting. Triple P is designed to give parents the skills they need to raise confident, healthy children and to build stronger family relationships. Research has shown it works across cultures, socio-economic groups and in many different family structures.

In times of uncertainty, it’s important now more than ever to support your family’s wellbeing. Our seminars at Bull Creek Primary School are held in safe, in-person events in line with the latest health advice.

Our School Psychologist Jon Heath is delivering a range of seminars, discussion group and brief parent consults in a format to suit all parents. While the seminars series are independent sessions, they are most effective when all 3 are completed in order.

 

Upcoming Scheduled Seminars in 2024

Our School Psychologist delivered 4 seminars across 2023. We had a fantastic attendance with over 94 attendees across both the Junior Seminar Series (3 parts) and the Fearless: Managing Anxiety Seminar! There were so many positive comments from parents that attended and we would encourage all families to participate in these seminars if they have the opportunity. Continuing with this, we’ll be running another 4 seminars across Terms 1 & 2 in 2024.

Fear-less: Helping your child learn to manage anxiety                    

Everyone experiences anxiety occasionally, and it’s a normal response that can be helpful and typically passes quickly. However, anxiety can sometimes become overwhelming and interfere with our ability to cope with day-to-day activities. Learning to manage anxiety effectively is a vital life skill that begins in childhood, with parents often best placed to support their children. This FREE 2.5 hour seminar can help you:

  • Understand exactly how anxiety works
  • Learn key anxiety-management and coping skills that you can teach your children and teens
  • Manage your children and teens’ anxious behaviour effectively     

Next available sessions:

  • Fearless: Managing Anxiety Webinar is being hosted at an in person session in Term 2 with the date to be determined by parent interest. A poll will be sent out (and a link here when it’s live) for parents to indicate when they would be able to attend.
