VICTIM IMPACT PROGRAM NEWSLETTER

YouImpact’s online program is a catalyst for behavioral change and is one of the best of its kind in the country. The program is intended to encourage offenders to reflect on how their choices impact others, then make positive steps to prevent recurrence of those behaviors in the future.

The newsletter covers industry topics including legislation and statistics. Also included are updates on the progress of YouImpact, testimonials from graduates of the program, as well as insights from YouImpact founder, Anna Redgate.

YouImpact was started nearly a decade ago after the realization that typical victim impact panels could be more effective when the program included introspection and initiatives to encourage a sense of personal responsibility.

The effort resulted in a program that features 11 videos relating the stories of both victims and offenders of impaired driving. Both describe how their lives have been personally impacted and are followed up by tests, including essay questions which obligate defendants to put themselves in the place of those in the videos.

Many defendants finish the program committed to making changes in their behavior when it comes to driving under the influence.
