CPP Program Suite
CPP is committed to building upon its success and serving as many families as possible through its evolving suite of programs.
ezParent
CPP is available as an app for individual use. Includes six, one-hour modules that help parents build positive relationships with their children. ezParent can be self-administered or paired with coaching support.
CPPi
Coming soon! Some group leaders, especially mental health professionals, want the option to individualize CPP to better meet the needs of a particular family. CPPi retains the features of the original group program and provides guidance on what parts of the program can be flexed to address a family’s individual needs.
CPP for Foster and Kinship Caregivers
Coming soon! This group-based program is a new CPP adaptation for foster and kinship caregivers of children 2–8 years old. The goal is to support the unique needs of children placed with families in out-of-home care and their caregivers.
CPP for Parents of Infants
Coming soon! This group-based program integrates content from two evidence-based programs, the Chicago Parent Program (CPP) and the Mothers and Babies Course, with the goal of reducing parent stress and depressive symptoms and strengthening parenting skills in the first two years of life.
