A VICTIM IMPACT PANEL (VIP) IS A VOLUNTEER GROUP OF DWI VICTIMS AND SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS WHO SPEAK TO AUDIENCES ABOUT THE LIFE ALTERING CONSEQUENCES OF IMPAIRED DRIVING.

Panelists convey a variety of perspective:

• DWI Survivors tell of the grief and painful changes they endure as the result of losing a family member or friend in a DWI crash.
• DWI victims describe the injuries they suffered, and continue to endure, from a DWI Crash.

VIP Presentations are made to all types of groups including:

• General audiences
• High school students
• In some areas Judges order DWI offenders to attend a VIP in order to emphasize the possible consequences of DWI.

Victim Impact Panels occur at varying intervals in each county. To gather information about a VIP in your area, click your county’s site in “County Initiatives” for contact information.
