On October 12 and 13, 2017, the Vincent J. Fontana Center for Child Protection of the New York Foundling and APSAC co-sponsored the National Summit to End Corporal Punishment in the United States. The Summit brought together the leading national experts and researchers to work towards the goals of developing a national strategy to end corporal punishment, creating the framework for a national public health campaign and conceptualizing the framework for a coordinating body to train professional staff, educate parents and disseminate information about evidence-based parent programs. The Summit transition team has already met twice to develop a strategic plan, and initial financial support has been identified for implementation.
