Evidence-based Parenting Interventions to Help Parents Reduce the Use of Physical Punishment (Part II)
January 23, 2020 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm
This course focuses on an issue that many social workers confront in their practice with children and families - the use of discipline and physical punishment in childrearing.
