Effective Black Parenting Program (EBPP) is a group-based parent skills training program designed to serve Black and African American families. EBPP aims to promote family pride and cohesion and to help families cope with the negative effects of racism. In the first session, instructors introduce a framework called the Pyramid of Success for Black Children 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.
