Topic: Providing Services to Victims of Impaired Driving and DUI Crashes

Date: December 20, 2023; 2:00–3:15 p.m. ET

Description: Drunk, drugged, or distracted drivers are more likely to cause traffic crashes and cause harm or death. Drugged driving is increasing due to the opioid crisis, the prevalence of prescription drugs, and the laws legalizing recreational marijuana use. Distracted driving—engaging in other activities while driving—is increasingly common. How can victim service providers best provide services to survivors, families, and friends following an impaired driving incident?

Note: This session will be recorded and posted on the Expert Q&A Past Sessions page when available.
