*About the Speaker: *

Valerie Anderson is a certified facilitator for the Power of Positive
Parenting (Triple P Program). She has a Master Degree in Social Work and
works part time as a parenting group facilitator at Turning Points for
Children’s Project F.A.M. Parenting Program for the past 7 years. Her group
facilitation skills include working with a variety of parents (i.e., women
in recovery, teen parents, early childhood parents…) in a variety of
settings throughout the city of Philadelphia.



*Overview of Triple P Program:*

The Triple P Program is an evidence- based program focused on parenting
children from the age 2-12 years old. It provides parents with positive
parenting techniques and strategies to teach children the skills to be
independent, manage their feelings, solve problems, and communicate to get
along with others. It has a cognitive behavior approach to parenting to
help children as well as parents make goals for change. Parents will be
able to develop their own personalized plans for positive parenting
strategies.
