Impact educates teens about the social, economic and health outcomes of risk-taking behaviours. Presentatio
ns include firsthand accounts and outcomes of risk-taking behaviours and provide students with the tools necessary to make informed decisions when faced with a challenge.
Presenters use polling technology to engage with students throughout the presentation. The goal is for students to recognize potential dangers with certain situations or behaviours and to encourage preventative action to minimize risk.
