Whether at home, in school or perhaps an unfamiliar environment, our children's mental well-being could be stressed to unexpected levels - especially in the early years.

McDonald's, in collaboration with Ministry of Social and Family Development and Families for Life in support of the Year of Celebrating SG Families (YCF), is intent on promoting greater awareness amongst parents looking to support their children's mental wellness and helping these children manage the many stressors that affect them.

Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)

MSF’s evaluation studies found that Triple P has positive effects on parenting and child outcomes in Singapore

About 85% of parents endorsed the programme as being relevant to their parenting needs. Parents also reported a sustained reduction in both their children’s problematic behaviour scores and parenting stress scores three months after completing the programme. To date, Triple P has been attended by over 58,000 parents.
