The worst experience a school may face is the death of a student, especially in the case of a sudden and preventable accident, which for teens most frequently involves driving distractions due to texting, cell phone use, recklessness, and impairment. Those who have experienced the aftermath of such a tragedy know that the trauma to classmates, families, faculty and staff goes beyond anything that they have been prepared for and will impact the school community for a long time.
In One Instant is an award-winning and research-based resource for schools that has demonstrated ability to impact teens and their decision making in ways that can prevent tragic driving collisions. This video assembly program and toolkit have been developed with input from health and safety professionals, teachers, counselors, school administrators, psychologists, parents and teens themselves. It is easily administered with follow up materials for administrators, students, teachers, and parents.
With minimal disruption to instructional programs and school schedules, this program can provide a bonding experience between teens, their parents, and school personnel to help teens recognize the importance of their decisions and the role they play in preventing tragedies.
Your role in bringing this powerful program to your school has the potential to save lives. Many parents, teens, and administrators have acknowledged how this powerful and emotional experience impacts teen driving behavior, promotes smarter choices, and creates long-lasting change.

Injury Prevention Message
Engage. Educate. Empower.
As a healthcare provider, you are a firsthand witness to the tragedies caused by distracted and reckless driving – the #1 killer of American teens. Entire communities are devastated by the actions of one person who makes a poor choice behind the wheel driving distracted, reckless or impaired. You are uniquely positioned to understand this dire problem and the importance of educating young drivers. Our program, In One Instant, was designed specifically for this purpose.
In One Instant is an award-winning, emotionally charged program that empowers teens to make smart choices and save lives. Informed by years of research in high schools and their communities, working with teens, parents, health and safety professionals, educators, counselors and psychologists, In One Instant speaks directly to teens in an honest and realistic way. It involves teens on an emotional level, bonds them to their community and fosters change from within.
We are enlisting your help to bring this powerful program to teens near you. With our turnkey digital program, In One Instant is easily implemented in high schools, community centers and through hospital- based outreach programs with minimal disruption to existing schedules.
Our 35-minute video program engages teens and acts as a springboard to incite behavior change. After experiencing the video assembly, educators, community leaders or hospital outreach staff lead the students in follow-up discussion and activities, providing teens with the tools they need for long-lasting change. It’s effective, easy to implement, and time efficient – the program can be compressed into an hour or stretched for weeks, depending on schedule availability. And we’ve cut out any guesswork by preparing comprehensive toolkits for administrators and coordinators, educators, parents, and teens.
While the program can be compact, it’s not just a one-off. We provide numerous community service and club opportunities throughout our Teen Guide to cultivate responsibility and keep the safe driving message alive year-round. Plus, it’s a great chance for teens to earn community service hours needed for graduation. Your role in bringing this powerful program to your community has the potential to save lives. We thank you for your help and everything you do for your community. Together we can lead the charge against distracted, reckless, and impaired driving.
Together, we can affect societal change.
