"Raising Good Kids Without Hitting"
Twenty grants of $250 will be awarded to non-profit organizations, schools and churches for educational events and programs which provide information about the effects of physical punishment of children and alternatives to its use. Preference will be given to programs and events which include teens or young adults, grandparents raising children alone, adults with a high school education, adult men, mothers raising children alone, teens with backgrounds of abuse and adults with backgrounds of abuse. Studies show these populations could benefit most from knowledge about effects of physical punishment and alternatives. Programs must reach at least 20 persons.
