BACKGROUND
Gaston County Cooperative Extension has been selected by the Partnership for Children of Lincoln and Gaston Counties as the provider for the Triple P Parenting Program for the fiscal year July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017. The County is reimbursed 100% through this grant. No County funds are used for this program. This is a partial allotment of the anticipated FY 16-17 grant. The remainder of the grant will be allocated in October - November once the Partnership knows their funding status. The goal of the Triple P program is to educate parents about child development, discipline skills and child health issues. By learning these skills, participants may place less demand on other county services such as health, social service, and public safety.
