SHC is a No Hit Zone

No Hit Zone is a nationwide movement to address the most prevalent risk factor of child abuse - social norms around corporal punishment. We know many things about corporal punishment. Research shows that hitting children teaches them to use violence to solve problems. Physical punishment does not improve behavior for the long-term, it actually leads to more misbehavior and aggression in children. Children who experience violence are more likely to develop physical and mental health problems as an adult.

Our
No Hit Zone creates an environment of comfort and safety for parents, families, and staff in our clinics by prohibiting hitting or verbal assault of any kind: by adults or children, including parents hitting or spanking children as part of discipline.
