You can use Penn State Health OnDemand anytime, day or night. It’s perfect when your doctor’s office is closed, you’re too sick or busy to see someone in person, or even when you’re traveling. It’s also ideal for times of health emergency, such as the coronavirus epidemic, when waiting rooms are unusually crowded and social distancing is encouraged.

Triple P Positive Parenting: Triple P is a free online parenting program for anyone who is interested. Triple P provides simple and practical strategies to help parents raise happy, confident kids, manage misbehavior, encourage behaviors you want to see in your child, take care of yourself as a parent, and to feel confident that you're doing the right things!

Triple P does not tell you HOW to be a parent. It is more like a toolbox of ideas. You choose the strategies you need. You choose the way you want to use them. It is all about what works best for you and your family

To learn more about the program check out their website HERE. You can also contact Lisa Buchwitz, Triple P Case Manager from the Children’s Aid Society at 814-765-2686 EXT 232 or 814-553-1557.
