Family Transitions Triple P

Abstract

Divorce is a major life Stressor and life transition for parents and children. It places parents and children at risk of developing psychological problems that can have long-term negative consequences for children. Family Transitions Triple P is an adaptation of Triple P-Positive Parenting Program that has been specifically developed to address risk factors and enhance protective factors for parents who are divorced. This paper presents the rationale, theoretical foundations, historical development, and distinguishing features of this program. The multilevel intervention promotes parental self-sufficiency, self-efficacy, self-management skills, personal agency, and problem-solving skills to promote short- and long-term positive outcomes for children and parents after divorce.
