Professor Matt Sanders is a clinical psychologist from University of Queensland in Australia. He developed the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program designed to enhance parental engagement, reduce stigma and encourage positivity.

Sanders recently visited Eugene to speak to parenting education stakeholders at the Oregon Research Institute. Lane County Health and Human Services, Lane County’s Parenting Education Hub and United Way of Lane County will help the community-wide implementation of Triple P Program strategies.

The Triple P Program Online is available for free to parents and children on the Oregon Health Plan through Trillium Community Health.
