The Chicago Parent Program was developed in 2002 by three nurses, Deborah Gross, Christine Garvey, and Wrenetha Julion who care deeply about young children and their families. In 2009, Susan Breitenstein and in 2014, Amie Bettencourt, who share our passion for supporting families with young children joined the CPP team. Dr. Gross is currently the Leonard and Helen Stulman Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing and School of Medicine (Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences) in Baltimore, MD. Dr. Julion is a Professor at Rush University College of Nursing, Dr. Breitenstein is a Professor at The Ohio State University College of Nursing in Columbus, OH and Dr. Bettencourt is an Assistant Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, School of Nursing and School of Public Health.
