The American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children (APSAC) and the New York Foundling are sponsoring a FREE ZOOM CHAT to discuss and answer questions about NO HIT ZONES, a primary prevention strategy to help change norms and behavior related to a very common ACE (the hitting of children). The Chat features Dr. Elizabeth Gershoff (leading global researcher on impacts of corporal punishment) and Stacie LeBlanc, President of APSAC and co- founder of the primary prevention oriented UP INSTITUTE.
There is a growing interest in No Hit Zones as a means of reducing a key risk factor of child abuse and preventing violence against children in a variety of settings including hospitals, parks, schools, agencies, and home visiting. The presenters will illustrate how you can get in the zone and will review the empirical research to date that supports both the need for prevention and the use of No Hit Zones as an effective means of prevention. Attendees will be given access to a toolkit, materials, and solutions to common barriers.
You can read the basics about NO HIT ZONES in this BLOG from the END VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN / END CORPORAL PUNISHMENT site: https://endcorporalpunishment.org/no-hit-zones/
