As a result of an alcohol-related criminal offense (usually a DUI), an individual
may be required by the court judge toattend a Victim Impact Panel (VIP) presentation. These sessions involve actual victims of impaired drivers telling how the illegal conduct has impacted their lives. Whether it is the recounting of the experience of losing a parent, explaining the emotional stress involved in handling the medical aftermath, or relating the experiences in dealing daily with having lost a child in this senseless way, the stories are compelling, emotional and have a real impact.
Fargo Cass Public Health provides a monthly presentation of the Victim Impact Panel on the City of Fargo website. To meet the presenters or to inquire about attending a session of the VIP, please visit Fargo Cass Public Health or call 701.241.1341.
