Abstract:
In this 3 hour session, attendees will dive deep into alternatives to coercion and punishment. We will begin by carefully defining what these are, how they are commonly (mis)used and the ethical implications these practices present. We will then explore alternatives that are ethical and which promote a culture of care for our clients in multiple settings. This session will discuss use of alternatives in schools, homes, clinics and community settings.
