Abstract: The relationship between parental mental illness and poor outcomes in children is well established. While parents with mental illness could benefit from accessing parenting programs, this population tends to be reluctant to do so. To address this need, we developed an adaptation of the Triple P program specific to people with mental illness, and this paper presents the views and experiences of parents who attended this program. The program is a ten week intervention consisting of a six week group parenting program, followed by four weekly home visits.
