The Triple P – Positive Parenting Program’s International Practice Award recognizes innovation, leadership and demonstrated outcomes in coordinating and delivering Triple P.

Christine Renard (pictured above, left) is the Triple P Implementation Coordinator at the University Center for Integrated Health & Social Services [Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS)] in Montreal’s south central area/Centre-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.

Christine was chosen for her outstanding leadership and commitment to program fidelity, collaboration with service partners, and excellent work in community promotional activities including liaising with local media and producing a parent video.

Joint winner France Landry (shown at right) has a similar role to Christine. She is a social worker and Triple P Implementation Coordinator with the Health and Social Services Centre [Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux] at the Capitale-Nationale, in Québec.

France received the award in recognition of her work in delivering Triple P to a large number of families, promoting the program to the wider community through innovative means, and working extensively with local providers to create French translations of materials.

Also recognized for his valuable work - but unable to attend the conference - was Dr Kevin (Mingchun) Guo, winner of the Triple P Early Career Research Award.  Dr Guo’s research examines relationships between family and parental functioning and children’s academic performance, looking into the effects upon both of involvement in a Triple P intervention. This research included a randomized controlled trial study among Chinese families in Shanghai.
