Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify two connections between physical punishment and family violence
  2. List three of the five steps in using the Pediatric RADAR assessment tool to screen for domestic violence and two resources to educate parents about childhood exposure to violence
  3. Describe two different options for how you can use the “Partnering with Parents” curriculum to conduct training

Description:
Physical punishment, a form of childhood exposure to violence, is associated with numerous adverse outcomes, is more likely to occur in homes with domestic violence and can magnify the impact of domestic violence on children. This skill-based workshop introduces a train-the-trainer curriculum and parent educational resources designed for the pediatric setting that address early brain development, childhood exposure to violence including physical punishment and domestic violence.
