PARENTING

Wake County Parent Consultants provides short-term counseling and trainings designed to support families who have concerns about child behavior or development that may impact school success. Our parent educators/counselors have years of experience with the many issues families face while raising young children. Counselors and trainers hold master’s degrees in psychology, social work, child development and counseling.

WCPC also offers the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). Included with Triple P is a variety of individual, group, and seminar options to parents. Triple P is an evidenced based parenting and family support system designed to prevent – as well as treat –behavioral and emotional problems in children. It aims to prevent problems in the family, school and community before they arise and to create family environments that encourage children to realize their potential. Triple P draws on social learning, cognitive behavioral and developmental theory as well as research into risk factors associated with the development of social and behavioral problems in children.

The main objective is to provide specific interventions that will increase the child’s success in his/her home and school environments.
