The website includes a course calendar, a list of resources, and a directory of local Triple P providers so that they may connect with someone directly.rnrnPrevent Child Abuse Arizona knew that the website would fulfill a need to coordinate family service providers, Triple P courses and classes, and parents; however, since releasing the website, the results have revealed how truly needed the website was.rnrnFor example, an accredited Triple P practitioner recently moved to Patagonia, AZ from the state of Washington where she provided Triple P through the state’s Department of Social and Health Services Children’s Administration. After moving to Arizona, she found Prevent Child Abuse Arizona Triple P contact information on the new referral website, enabling her to become the first in-person Triple P service provider in Santa Cruz County included in the new website’s referral directory! Additionally, the new provider joined the monthly Implementation Support Zoom sessions that Prevent Child Abuse Arizona co-facilitates with Randy Ahn, Triple P America Implementation Consultant, to better support service providers in reaching families.rnrnNot only has the website further supported providers, but it has nurtured increased demand for classes. Frances Holguin, u003ca href=u0022https://pcaaz.org/southern-hospitality/u0022u003ethe Triple P provider featured in our June 2021 Newsletter hereu003c/au003e, shared that her two stipend-supported courses were sold out within 36-hours – including 46 parents on the waitlist! This provides evidence for one of the goals of the website – to increase awareness of stipend-supported courses where Triple P providers are paid via stipend and parents have access to free classes. Previously, Triple P providers had a difficult time marketing their availability.rnrnIf you are interested in learning more about Triple P, whether as a service provider or a parent, please visit the Triple P Arizona website at u003ca href=u0022https://positiveparentingaz.org/u0022u003ehttps://positiveparentingaz.org/u003c/au003e.
