Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health

Abstract
The effects of parenting on the healthy development of children and adolescents, and on preventing behavioural, emotional, and social problems, are pervasive. A public health approach to parent education and support can have major impact on the mental health of Canadians. Many of the values and strategic directions advocated by the Mental Health Commission of Canada can be realized in a population-based system for parent support such as the Triple P Positive Parenting Program. Triple P's core principles, program components, and means of implementation are described, with illustrations from across Canada.
Résumé
Les parents jouent un rôle clé dans le développement des enfants et des jeunes, ainsi que dans la prévention des problèmes comportementaux, émotionnels et sociaux. Une approche axée sur la santé publique à l’égard de l’éducation et de l'appui aux parents pourrait avoir un impact majeur sur la santé mentale des Canadiens et Canadiennes. Le programme de pratiques parentales positives Triple P offre une façon de mettre en oeuvre plusieurs des valeurs et des directions stratégiques proposés par la Commission de la santé mentale du Canada. Nous expliquons les principes et les éléments clés de ce programme, ainsi que la façon d'implantation, avec des exemples à travers le Canada.
