Title: Why and How white child protection advocates must talk to black parents about the harms of corporal punishment? presented by Stacey Patton, PhD 

Description: White child protection advocates who avoid addressing corporal punishment in communities of color due to concerns about cultural sensitivity or their own discomfort are inadvertently doing a disservice to vulnerable children. By buying into arguments of cultural normativity or feeling they lack the right to address harmful practices, these advocates fail in their duty to protect all children equally.

This webinar addresses the critical need for white child protection advocates to engage in meaningful dialogue with Black parents about the harmful effects of corporal punishment. The presentation will explore the historical, cultural, and social contexts that influence attitudes towards physical discipline in black communities. Participants will gain a deep understanding of these cultural contexts while also being equipped with the latest scientific research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the neurological impacts of corporal punishment. This combination of cultural awareness and scientific knowledge will empower advocates to navigate the cultural sensitivities surrounding this controversial practice with confidence and credibility.

Participants will learn effective, culturally sensitive communication strategies to discuss alternative disciplinary methods while acknowledging and respecting cultural differences. By the end of the webinar, attendees will be prepared to overcome their apprehensions about potential cultural landmines and engage in constructive, science-based dialogues that prioritize child safety and well-being.
