One of many NC MCH success stories is Triple P – Positive Parenting Program®, a multi-tiered system of evidence-based parenting interventions intended to reduce the incidence of child maltreatment and behavioral/emotional problems; reduce out-of-home placements; and reduce emergency departments visits related to abuse and neglect. In 2011, WCHS funded three Local Implementation Agencies (LIAs) with Title V funds for the initial implementation of Triple P in NC. WCHS had a vision to disseminate Triple P as a population level intervention across NC, but understood that it would take additional funding partners to realize this goal. Soon, other state level partners joined WCHS to expand to all 100 counties in NC, including The Duke Endowment, DSS, DMH/SAS/DD, NC Partnership for Children, John Rex Foundation, and Juvenile Justice. These agencies formed the Partnership for Strategy and Governance of Triple P in NC. Local coalitions were formed at the LIAs to support local implementation. To augment the state level support, many local agencies (local Smart Starts, local social services agencies, area mental health agencies, regional juvenile justice agencies, Catholic Charities, and local health departments) have allocated resources to train and support local practitioners. These state and local partnerships are the basis for success of Triple P in NC. To date, 3,738 practitioners have been trained in Triple P who have served 74,286 caregivers impacting 115,146 children.
