This video features Nia reading and illustrating her own real-life story about a fire-setting incident that resulted in the death of another person. Through her first-hand account, young people gain an insight into the decisions, consequences, and life-changing impact of her actions. The resource encourages reflection on decision-making, personal responsibility, risk-taking, empathy, and the long-term effects of fire-setting on individuals, families, victims, and communities.
How To Use
Watch the video with the young person, pausing at key points to discuss Nia’s decisions, thoughts, and actions. Use open questions to explore risk-taking, consequences, alternative choices, and the impact of the incident on those affected. The video can be viewed in full as a complete session or used in sections to focus on specific themes such as arson, peer influence, criminal justice outcomes, victim impact, restorative justice, and making safer choices in the future.
