The Triple P Level 5 Enhanced/Pathways training teaches practitioners to provide family interventions which address family factors that may impact upon, and complicate, the task of parenting. These include problems with parental mood and adjustment and partner conflict. This workshop extends understanding of parent training with parents at risk for child maltreatment and the factors associated with abuse of children. It includes components addressing risk factors commonly encountered with maltreating parents, such as anger control problems and attributional biases. On completion of this program, practitioners will have enhanced knowledge and skills in the following areas:

• Assessment of personal and relationship adjustment of parents.
• Specific strategies for improving personal coping skills and reducing parenting stress, anxiety, and depression
• Reducing parenting conflict, improving parents’ communication skills and promoting partner support.
• Helping parents develop independent problem solving skills
• Advanced assessment of child and family functioning
• Identification of indicators suggesting the presence of additional risk factors within families
• The delivery of interventions targeting additional risk factors, including anger management training and cognitive restructuring skills
• Strategies for promoting generalization and maintenance of behaviour change.
