Impact
IMPACT is an education service provided to students who are referred by the Center for Community Standards for substance use violations. The purpose of this intervention is to administer a substance abuse education program that is focused on harm reduction strategies, motivational interviewing and brief intervention. The IMPACT classes and 1:1 sessions have been developed to provide an empirically based intervention to meet the specific needs of students who exhibit high risk substance use behaviors. The IMPACT program is unique in that it is not a “one size fits all” intervention; rather, IMPACT is structured to route students, via confidential assessment with personalized feedback, to the intervention that best meets their needs in terms of behavior change, psycho-education and clinical concerns.
Students receive direction for their routed participation (group or 1:1 sessions and assessment type) in multiple ways: from the Center for Community Standards, in the IMPACT workshop and the Health Promotions website. A detailed procedural flow chart and routing logic for 1:1 vs. group, the four sanction types (alcohol, cannabis, poly-substance and other drug) as well as the sanction/violation number (1, 2, 3) is available upon request.
