Restraint, seclusion, and corporal punishment are a national problem
At Lives in the Balance, we’re heightening awareness of the prevalence of and harm done by these practices. The TV ad above — which has aired on national TV on programs such as 60 Minutes and Morning Joe — is one example of our public awareness efforts. But we don’t just call attention to these practices (and other punitive, exclusionary practices like detention, suspension, expulsion, detentions, and police referrals), we also help schools and facilities implement an evidence-based model of care called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions that has been shown to dramatically reduce or eliminate these practices. You can learn more about us and our efforts by clicking on any of the boxes below. And you’re more than welcome to join in on and support those efforts.
