Meet our partners at Goshen College music together!

We are proud to partner with Goshen College Music Together to connect parents across the area with musical activities they can share with their children! Music Together is a world-renowned program that uses music to help parents form closer bonds with their children and encourage healthy brain development in young ones. Triple P and Music Together have collaborated on many joint workshops for parents of babies in particular as part of an Early Years Initiative grant from Early Learning Indiana. Watch the video to hear what parents think about Music Together and learn more, including how to sign up for classes, at goshen.edu/music-together.

Brain care is self-care for kids!

In fall 2024, three Notre Dame students in a Developmental Neuroscience course worked with Triple P Elkhart County for a semester on a project to unite neuroscience knowledge with Positive Parenting principles.

The end result is an audiovisual version of a children's book series called "Brain Care is Self-Care" published by Self-Healing Communities Michiana. Click the video box to watch the first in the series, and stay tuned to our YouTube channel to keep an eye out for more!
