In May 2018, IMPACT
Chicago offered IMPACT for Girls at North Park Elementary School (NPES). One of
the participants and her mother who attended a final portion of the program
shared their experiences.
Participant M, Age 11, NPES
"I felt more
empowered and stronger than I thought I was, both physically and mentally. I
was so proud of myself and my friends."
Liz Burgess, Parent, NPES
"I was
overwhelmed by such a rush of different emotions all at once while watching my
daughter work through the scenarios. I was scared for her. I was shocked by how
real this felt. I was impressed by how she was able to handle herself with her
voice and body. I was proud of the confidence and focus she exhibited while
doing so. I was holding back the tears watching my beautiful, smart and strong
girl rise up and take control of a potentially unsafe situation. Thank you
IMPACT Chicago!"
