The Chicago Parent Program (CPP) began in Chicago in 2002 and draws upon more than 20 years of research. Its design reflects the perspectives and experiences of an advisory board of mothers, fathers, and grandparents. The 12-session program strengthens parenting skills and confidence, supports young children's behavioral health and wellbeing, and builds social connections and healthy communities. Since its inception, CPP has been deployed in over 27 states and counting.
