Abstract

In 2012 the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) funded us to research the Stepping Stones Triple P program.
Stepping Stones Triple P (SSTP) is a program which teaches parents how to encourage healthy behaviour and emotions in children with developmental disabilities.
The project examined whether a program with a demonstrated ability in research trials to improve mental health outcomes could do so with positive impact across whole communities.
The project offered free training in Stepping Stones Triple P program delivery to people already working with children with developmental disabilities, such as teachers, early childhood workers, health or disability support workers.
These practitioners then offered Stepping Stones Triple P free of charge to families of children with developmental disabilities aged from 2 to 12 years in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. The program was delivered in a range of formats and at differing levels of intensity. Parents and carers were free to choose the type and level of program they wanted. A communications campaign helped raise awareness of the program's availability.
