Event Description
Corporal punishment (CP) is associated with a multitude of short- and long-term consequences for children which can negatively impact mental and physical health. However, many American adults continue to endorse the use of CP in both the home and school setting. Seventeen states continue to allow CP in public schools and the majority of states allow its use in the private school setting. Child advocacy professionals from a variety of disciplines must ensure that parents and American society in general are fully knowledgeable about CP use, understand its potential for negative outcomes for children, and are aware of healthy and effective alternatives to CP. This webinar will explore CP by defining different types, discussing consequences, describing challenges to eradication in the United States, and suggesting interventions by APSAC professionals to effect change to see the end of CP use in America.
Presenters: Ellen M . Chiocca, PhD, CPNP, APRN; Gail Hornor, DNP, CPNP, SANE-P
