PuP is a parenting programme specifically developed for but note limited to families who are facing adversities which can include parental substance use, mental health, homelessness, family conflict and sever financial stress.

The overarching aim of PuP is to help parents develop positive and secure relationships with their children. Which this strengths-based approach, the family environment becomes more nurturing and less conflictual.

As the quality of the caregiving relationship improves, parents are able to focus on developing family routines and processes that are age appropriate for their infants and children.

Parents and children learn to regulate emotions and children are given the opportunity to learn additional self-regulation skills.
