Exploring Ongoing Coaching and Support for Triple P

A Note of Gratitude and Transition

May 22nd Child Welfare Learning Collaborative: Ongoing Triple P Support

The CWLC held on May 22nd highlighted the ongoing coaching and support that will continue to be made available to child welfare agencies as they explore and engage in Triple P implementation within their agencies. 

As funding for Triple P implementation support ends, the NC Triple P Child Welfare Coordinator, Tamara Robertson, will no longer provide direct support to child welfare agencies after June 30, 2025. We remain committed to supporting North Carolina’s child welfare staff and agencies and encourage child welfare workers to explore other opportunities such as:

• Triple P Coaching
• Training
• Peer to Peer Support
• PASS Session 
• Practitioner Conferences (offered in specific regions)

In addition, please feel free to contact your regional Triple P LIA listed below for Triple P questions or support.

Strengthening Families Through Collaboration: NC Triple P & Local DSS Agencies

North Carolina’s families thrive when family-serving community partners work together, and strong collaboration is at the heart of that success. Local Departments of Social Services (DSS) can play a powerful role in preventing crises and promoting long-term well-being by partnering with Lead Implementing Agencies (LIAs) to bring the Positive Parenting Program into everyday practice. By aligning Triple P’s proven strategies with your existing day-to-day work, DSS teams can provide parents and caregivers with the tools they need to thrive and make a lasting difference in their communities.

Why Local DSS Agencies Should Partner with Lead Implementing Agencies

Local DSS agencies are uniquely positioned to reach families at critical moments such as CPS involvement, reunification efforts, or economic hardship. By integrating Triple P into DSS systems, counties can:

• Prevent deeper system involvement through early intervention
• Improve parenting outcomes during foster care or reunification
• Support Work First families and kinship caregivers
• Offer caseworkers practical tools for supporting families
• Demonstrate progress toward Families First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) and prevention-focused goals

Regional Lead Implementing Agencies: Your Triple P Support Team

Effectively implementing Triple P requires more than training; it requires infrastructure and guidance. That’s where Regional Lead Implementing Agencies (LIAs) come in. These agencies provide:

• Readiness and fit & feasibility assessments for your agency to determine which levels of Triple P best meet the needs of your clients
• Training and accreditation of child DSS staff and community providers
• Ongoing coaching (including peer support, data support, and fidelity support) to ensure Triple P is delivered effectively
• Data collection and outcome monitoring to show impact and guide improvement
• Cross-sector coordination across health, education, and human services

By partnering with your local LIA, your DSS team gains a knowledgeable partner invested in your success as well as brokering relationships with other parenting support programs, such as Improving Community Outcomes for Maternal and Child Health (ICO4MCH) (Currently in Guilford County, Mecklenburg County, Sandhills Collaborative, and Wake County).
