Interventions

The Positive Parenting for Healthy Living Seminar Series (Lifestyle Triple P Seminar Series) is a new, brief adaptation of the Level Four Group Lifestyle Triple P program. It aims to help parents raise healthy children by providing them with information and practical strategies for positive parenting, promoting healthy eating, and increasing physical activity. Parents attend a total of three parent sessions delivered over 3 consecutive weeks. Each session lasts 90 minutes, and is delivered in group format to parents. Parents must attend all three sessions. Both parents and other caregivers are encouraged to attend the program, however one parent need only attend for a family to be eligible for the trial.
