Family Support Partnership - Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department

Healthy kids. Healthy families.

Children who experience positive relationships become healthy and strong youth.

They grow up to become healthy and strong adults—and parents! Promote positive relationships and strengthen your family.

We promote safe, stable, nurturing relationships and environments for all children. Healthy relationships and environments fostered at home, school and in the community:

Are powerful, protective and healing in a child’s life.
Promote positive experiences for children.
Are the building blocks of a child’s physical and emotional growth.

Healthy relationships help your family build a solid foundation that will get you through good times—and hard times. Practical strategies that can help strengthen your family. We can help.

We want to help you be the best parent you can be. Learn why parenting is so important.

“Build parenting skills at an early age to address these issues and break cycles that are ongoing for generations. That’s the importance of ACEs.”

Be a more confident and happy parent

Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) gives you tips and ideas to bring out the best in your children. Learn the best ways to positively manage the behavior you don’t like and encourage more of the behaviors you do.

Triple P is free and open to families with children ages 0-17. Choose the strategy that best fits your family.
