The program consists of 12 sessions and is conducted through weekly meetings, videos, and group discussions. 

What is the evidence base?

The Chicago Parent Program reduces parents’ use of physical punishment, increases parenting confidence, strengthens parent-to-parent connections, and increases knowledge of children’s social-emotional development and well-being. For children, CPP improves behavioral and emotional regulation, peer relationships, and academic outcomes.
