This is a great program! Spread the word! It's a great resource in our community!

Parenting doesn’t come with a manual — but support is available. 💙
Marion County Children Services wants families to know about the Triple P Online Program — a free, evidence-based parenting resource available to Ohio parents and caregivers. Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) offers practical tools and strategies to help strengthen relationships, build confidence, and manage everyday parenting challenges.

Whether you’re navigating toddler tantrums, school struggles, or just looking for new parenting tools, Triple P Online allows you to learn at your own pace from the comfort of home.

✔️ Free for Ohio families
✔️ Self-paced online modules
✔️ Designed for parents of children and teens
✔️ Backed by decades of research

Strong families build strong communities, and sometimes a little extra support can make a big difference.
