Impact Teen Drivers and NJM Insurance Group Partner to Protect Young Lives in Connecticut

HARTFORD, CT, UNITED STATES, April 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This April, during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, Impact Teen Drivers (ITD) and NJM Insurance Group (NJM) are proud to highlight their ongoing partnership to deliver free, evidence-based programming to Connecticut teens, parents, families, health professionals, and first responders. Together, they are working to end the number one cause of unintentional injury and death for young people in the state: motor vehicle crashes.

Every year, too many Connecticut families are devastated by preventable tragedies on the road. Through this partnership, NJM is investing in proactive, educational solutions that empower communities with the tools, training, and resources needed to shift the culture around reckless and distracted driving.

“As an insurer with a long-standing commitment to safety and community support, NJM is proud to partner with Impact Teen Drivers in bringing life-saving programming directly to Connecticut’s youth and the adults who support them,” said Erica Rosso, NJM Consumer Safety Partnership and Program Supervisor. “Together, we are helping teen drivers keep safety top of mind and teaching them how to avoid risky driving behaviors.”

ITD’s programs are built on research-backed strategies and designed to engage and educate all roadway users about shared responsibility and the power of everyday choices. With support from NJM, these resources are offered at no cost to schools, first responders, healthcare providers, and community organizations across Connecticut.

“Behind every statistic is a real person—a son, a daughter, a friend—whose life was cut short by a preventable crash,” said Dr. Kelly Browning, Executive Director of Impact Teen Drivers. “This partnership with NJM helps us reach more people with evidence-based education that truly makes a difference.”
