This healing opportunity will help clients understand the impact of their choices and how to prevent recidivism.

Alternatively, if a volunteer is unable to commit to speaking on a regularly basis, we encourage volunteers to instead share their story via a recorded video that would be used during scheduled Victim Impact Panels sessions for participants to learn from.
