HCP first met Anna Redgate in 2009. The team learned of her personal drive and interest in developing a DUI offenders program to be incorporated into their sentencing. Redgate lost a child at the hand of a drunk driver on New Year’s Day, 2000. In the years following, she became a regular speaker at live victim impact panels, making efforts to make those who had been convicted of drunk driving more aware of their impact on others in the hopes of changing their future actions. 

However, she felt strongly that there were better ways of getting the message through to DUI offenders about the impacts of their actions. The live victim impact panels were often difficult for the offenders to attend, given that they needed to secure transportation. The goal was to establish an alternative model of the live panels to expand the reach of the message. 

HCP developed a brand platform and corporate collateral to complement the identity (logo, letterhead, business cards, email signature, etc.) for a unified image. This name selected for the brand—YouImpact—represented Redgate’s overall goal in all of her efforts—to raise awareness of personal impact through exposure to the personal stories of real people impacted by destructive driving decisions, from offenders to victims to the families of victims. 

HCP developed a web-based platform through which the program envisioned by Redgate could live. This platform provided participants with a similar experience to that of the live victim impact panels. HCP collaborated with programmers, film experts, and Redgate’s team to completely design the online program from the ground up. This included copy development for the instructions, design comps, functionality testing, imagery sourcing, filming, and video editing. The program included a Q&A section following each video, and participants needed to score a certain percentage of questions correctly to move through the program. 

In conjunction with the program development, HCP also provided recommended next steps, offering a calendar of events through which Redgate could take on a presentation role or network. The team also sourced judge and attorney contacts through the state for direct outreach to build program awareness. 

Redgate showcased the AfterMyDUI program at the Florida Association of Community Corrections (FACC) and continues outreach to judges and attorneys throughout the United States to get her program included in offender sentencing.
