BACKGROUND
Gaston County Cooperative Extension has been selected by the Parneship for Children of Lincoln and Gaston Counties as the provider for the Triple P Parent Edcuation Program for FY 2017. This Board Action increases the FY17 grant by $4000 from $58,275 to $62,275. The County is reimbursed 100% through this grant. No County funds are used for this program.
The goal of the Triple program is to educate parents about child development, discipline skills, and child nutrition and health issues. By learning these skills, participants may place less demand on other County services such as health, social services, and public safety.
