Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) - Level 1 Universal

Community-wide implementation comes from building or sustaining capacity in several key areas:

• Public Awareness: Awareness among multiple stakeholder audiences helps to create a collective sense of buy-in and support for Triple P. Public awareness and positive perceptions of Triple P is the foundation for partnerships, resource sharing, funding, and program engagement. Awareness may come from both media formats and networks of people talking to others in the community and spreading the word.
• Inclusion of Parents and Caregivers in Co-creating Relevant Communication Strategies, Messages, and Materials: Including families and community partners in developing outreach, marketing, and direct to caregiver content helps ensure that the materials are culturally relevant and resonate with varied audiences to promote action - whether it's seeking parenting support, taking the next step to being trained as a Triple P provider, or offering space to host Triple P.
• Accessible, Culturally Relevant Services that Meet Needs, from Levels 1-5: Strong community buy-in and participation can help meet parenting-support demand and create easy-to-access services. Triple P online (TPOL), for example, is a widely accessible, free or low-cost format for caregivers to find parenting support. Caregiver and community partner inclusion in Triple P implementation, combined with regular data review, can help communities ensure equitable Triple P reach. Triple P Level 1- Universal Triple P must be provided in conjunction with at least one other Triple P model in order to collect pre/post data and analyze participant-level outcomes. Universal Triple P cannot be implemented as a standalone program. 
• Strong Community and System Partnerships: Building relationships with community systems, such as schools, health networks, community support centers (think YMCAs, YWCAs), libraries, and other systems to promote Triple P, refer caregivers, or offer space for services can help ensure universal and widespread reach.
• Coalitions and Leadership Teams: Coalition and leadership teams are the community voices at the table that help guide implementation, accessibility, relevance, and accountability. These groups by definition should be broadly representative of the entire community.
