C@R established the Center for Parenting and Family Well-Being (CPFWB) in 2011. In its first phase, CPFWB took an inventory of the current network of parenting services in Houston, and found that there is a strong need for evidence-based parent education that is not punitive. Through a partnership including organizations that provide parent education services, pediatricians, academics, and public health practitioners, CPFWB determined that the community should move forward with developing structure to implement the Positive Parenting Program (Triple P). During its second phase, the CPFWB is creating an infrastructure to disseminate Triple P across Harris County.
