• Stop Hurting Kids – The Alliance to Prevent Restraint, Aversive Interventions, and Seclusion (APRAIS) is a coalition of organizations and advocates who dedicate their time and resources to ending restraint and seclusion abuse in U.S. schools. Each day, children are at risk of being injured and traumatized by the imposition of restraint and seclusion in schools across the United States, despite the fact there is no evidence of therapeutic or educational value, and ample evidence of emotional trauma, physical harm, and death.
