No Hit Zone Module 2

The “How” – You’ve Become a No Hit Zone—Now What?

Focus of this Training:

What is a “No Hit Zone”? It’s a place, anywhere—a home, school, hospital, clinic, religious institution, or a neighborhood or community—that establishes an environment of comfort and safety for parents, families, and staff. Being a No Hit Zone means being committed to addressing the most prevalent risk factor for child abuse—corporal punishment—and promoting effective parenting techniques with strategies and resources that influence attitudes, norms, and behaviors.
