OSWEGO COUNTY – Now more than ever, parents could use a little bit of help. Farnham Family Services has partnered with the Positive Parenting Program, also known as Triple P, to provide parents across Central New York with the skills they need to raise confident, healthy children and teenagers and build strong family relationships.
As part of the Triple P program, Farnham Family Services has developed free, online virtual discussion groups; one for parents with children in the 0 to 12 age group and another for parents with teenaged children.
Parents who attend a discussion group will learn about:
Developing positive relationships
Increasing desirable behaviors
Teaching new skills and behaviors
Managing problem behavior
The group discussions will be held weekly on Wednesdays throughout September and October. Interested parents can register for a group through Farnham Family Services’ online portal (https://www.farnhaminc.org/Triple-P-Positive-Parenting-Program.aspx) or call (315) 596-2147.
