One New Heartbeat's Evidence-Based Parenting Program (EBPP) is an adaptation of the Effective Black Parenting Program, originally developed by the CICC, to be more inclusive and meet the diverse needs of the population we serve. This program is now open to all parents and caregivers of minority children, though the tools, strategies, and techniques it offers are valuable for anyone parenting or caregiving for youth up to the age of 24. Initially designed as a 15-session program for small groups, our EBPP has been restructured into a 14-session program that meets twice weekly, accommodating groups of 10-12 parents per session, each lasting 3 hours. Participants culminate their journey with a graduation ceremony in the 15th session. Additionally, we offer a condensed one-day seminar format for larger groups. The EBPP is also widely disseminated through instructor training workshops conducted nationwide.

 EVIDENCE BASED PARENTING PROGRAM OUTLINE

EBPP aims to promote family pride and cohesion. In the first session, instructors introduce a framework called the Pyramid of Success to help parents set goals for their children and identify what their children need to reach those goals. The remaining sessions teach parenting skills and educate parents on how children learn and develop. Skills taught include setting family rules, using positive consequences to reward respectful and desirable child behavior, and using corrective consequences to address disrespectful and undesirable child behavior. The program also addresses the topics of drug use, single parenting, and child abuse. After each session, parents are provided with home activities to practice the skills taught during the session.

Expected Outcomes/Key Metrics: Through funding this Evidence Based Practice and Community Driven Evidence Based Practice, DHCS and ONHB expects to strengthen positive parenting practices, improve the response to emotional and behavioral challenges commonly experienced in childhood, promote child social and emotional development, improve caregiver involvement and relationships with children, and increase support for individuals that may be experiencing heightened levels of caregiver-related stress among other outcomes.
