Across the U.S. and beyond, children are still being subjected to harmful practices like suspension, restraint, seclusion, and corporal punishment. This year's conference will highlight real solutions already underway, including:
-Efforts in the American South to ban corporal punishment in public schools.
-Groundbreaking work in Ireland to provide inclusive care for children and adults with disabilities.
-Raising awareness and demanding action in the UK and Michigan where restraint and seclusion threaten children' s right to well-being.
-Advocacy for immigrant children in U.S. schools, who face heightened fear as protections are rolled back and raids occur near school, underscoring what educators must know to ensure schools remain safe havens where these students are protected and included.
“Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and understood. When we use punitive, exclusionary discipline, we move further away from those ingredients and make it harder to solve the problems that are affecting their lives,” says Dr. Ross Greene,“This conference is about showing how we can do better, together, with compassion and collaboration, and about how people are doing that all over the world.”
Registration is free at , and all sessions will be recorded and available to registrants in the days after the event.
Lives in the Balance, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded by Dr. Ross Greene, works to end harmful discipline and promote compassionate, collaborative approaches to supporting children and families. Learn more at
