There is formal support available for implementation of Triple P - Positive Parenting Program - Level 4® (Level 4 Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P America employs Implementation Consultants who provide support through a mix of on-site, teleconferencing, webinar, and email support. Triple P Implementation Consultants support organizations in the implementation planning process and sharing of Triple P implementation tools for agencies/jurisdictions adopting Triple P. This support is available throughout an initiative; often more intensive at first and tapering off as sites/jurisdictions develop effective plans for maintenance. Triple P America provides consultation, resources and tools related to evaluation and fidelity monitoring but does not provide direct oversight or collect data from implementing sites. Implementation Consultants use the tools from the Triple P Implementation Framework to foster local ownership of the intended outcomes and processes for evaluation. Sites are supported in fostering effective leadership and following best practices for workforce development, service delivery, and quality improvement cycles. While Implementation Consultants focus on support for administrators and managers of initiatives, Triple P Trainers are an available resource to sites seeking additional consultation and support for practitioners through developed workshops, tailored support days, and/or consultation calls at an additional cost.

There are fidelity measures for Triple P - Positive Parenting Program - Level 4® (Level 4 Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P has three quality assurance/fidelity checks built into its implementation framework:

• Accreditation of Practitioners – Completed within the context of a Triple P Provider Training Course, this establishes baseline competence of all practitioners and certifies them as being able to implement the program as intended. The accreditation process has two steps: obtaining a passing score on a written exam and displaying competence in parent consultation skills as scored by an accredited Triple P trainer through direct observation or DVD submission. Procedures are in place to help and "recycle" practitioners to master the intervention when they do not pass accreditation.
• Session Checklists – Each intervention has a session checklist which assists practitioners in implementing the service as intended. These checklists are integrated into the training protocol and are found in all Triple P manuals. Organizations have the flexibility to utilize these instruments as self-assessments or in more formal quality assurance procedures.
• Peer Support Networks - A crucial element in implementation sites involves the adoption of a self-regulatory framework and the use of the Peer Assisted Support and Supervision (PASS) model of quality assurance. During PASS sessions, practitioners present cases, obtain feedback from other qualified practitioners, and continue to supplement their skills with continuing education. Practitioners learn the PASS model at training, and the PASS manual and checklist are available to trained practitioners through the Triple P Provider Network.

Other quality assurance and fidelity checks available and Triple P America implementation consultants will work with local agencies to craft a plan that is consistent with local oversight agency procedures. Please email contact.us@triplep.net for further information on measures of fidelity.

There are implementation guides or manuals for Triple P - Positive Parenting Program - Level 4® (Level 4 Triple P) as listed below:

Triple P has two levels of implementation tools available. There are a range of documents available to agency leadership and managers that provide guidance on organizational and systems level factors. Implementation Consultants provide support to organizations to develop their own handbook of implementing Triple P, using the tools and processes in the Implementation Framework to provide a context specific guide for those responsible for coordinating the implementation of Triple P at that organization or region. For the direct service provider, each level of Triple P includes a Practitioner Manual with step-by-step guidelines for successful delivery of Triple P.

Tools associated with the Triple P Implementation Framework are provided in conjunction with support from a Triple P Implementation Consultant for agencies or jurisdictions interested in adopting Triple P. The Triple P Practitioner Manuals are provided as part of the Triple P Provider Training Courses. Please email contact.us@triplep.net from more information related to the Triple P Implementation Framework. The relevant Triple P Practitioner Manual is provided to practitioners when they attend a Triple P Provider Training Course.
