SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
FIRST 5 Mendocino introduced Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) to Mendocino County for families with questions about young children's behavior. The Triple P program has now evolved to help families with children of all ages find positive solutions to child behavior problems and help with children who have a delay or disability. FIRST 5 is the sole agency in the county that provides and coordinates training certification for Triple P instructors.
At the request of Health and Human Services Agency, Family and Children's Services FIRST 5 has expanded the offering of Triple P classes countywide, especially in outlying, coastal and north county areas, to make this service available free of charge to any parent in Mendocino County to help reduce child abuse and neglect. In addition, FIRST 5 has added Transitions Groups which provide parenting education to parents who are separating/divorcing; these groups are utilized by the Mendocino County Family Law Court.
