Victim Impact Panel

Impaired driving affects more than the person behind the wheel. Its consequences reach families, friends, and entire communities.

The St. Joseph Safety & Health Council’s Victim Impact Panel shares personal perspectives on the lasting effects of impaired driving. Through these stories, participants are encouraged to reflect on their choices and the responsibility we all share to keep our roads safe.

    Session Length: VIP class is 2 hours long.
    Location: 3131 Frederick Ave. Suite 220, St. Joseph, Mo 64506

  • A Victim Impact Panel is an educational program that explores the human consequences of impaired driving. Speakers share how impaired driving has affected their lives and the lives of those around them.
