The Massachusetts Impaired Driver (MID) program is a psycho-educational program for persons convicted of a driving under the influence charge.
My facilitator was amazing. She made me comfortable. She made us engaged. She gave me a peace of mind after I felt like the world was ending. I am forever appreciative of my experience with her and NFI.
MID utilizes a trauma informed therapeutic approach to provide individuals convicted of driving under the influence the tools needed to change their behavior and prevent future offenses.
