The Center for Effective Discipline (CED) is a non-profit organization which provides educational information to the public on the effects of corporal punishment of children and alternatives to its use. It is currently the headquarters for and coordinates both National Coalition to Abolish Corporal Punishment in Schools (NCACPS) and End Physical Punishment of Children (EPOCH-USA).

National Coalition to Abolish Corporal Punishment in Schools (NCACPS), is comprised of individuals who share information on the progress of banning corporal punishment with the public and the media.

In 1996, the Center became the headquarters for End Physical Punishment of Children (EPOCH-USA) which is a supporter of the Global Initiative to End All Corporal Punishment of Children. EPOCH-USA seeks to end corporal punishment of children in all settings including homes through education and legal reform. The current members of the advisory board are listed here.
