Brief summary: The primary objective of this study is to tailor the Chicago Parent Program, an evidence-based parent training program, for the foster care setting and pilot the content in two cohorts of foster and kinship caregivers (Gross et al., 2009).

Detailed description: This study involves the administration of an evidence-based prevention program to prevent and reduce behavior problems in young children (the Chicago Parent Program; CPP). CPP will be tailored by creating additional handouts, discussion questions, and topics that contextualize CPP material to foster care, to meet the needs and social norms of foster and kinship caregivers. The CPP-FC 12-session curriculum will be delivered to two cohorts of foster and kinship caregivers virtually. Data for this study will come from multiple sources, including caregiver participant report and a review of existing electronic databases at CCHMC.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Must be a licensed foster caregiver or kinship caregiver to a child ages 2 years to 8 years
* Must be in good standing with the foster care agency
* Must be English-speaking

Exclusion Criteria:

* Not having a foster child ages 2 - 8 years in the home
* Caregiver is unable to commit to participating in CPP-FC
* This foster child age 2 - 8 years was placed in the home more than 45 days prior to enrollment
