PREVENT ALCOHOL AND RISK-RELATED TRAUMA IN YOUTH

The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is an immersive and interactive injury prevention program for youth where they are provided with the opportunity to learn about the challenging and often confronting journey of a trauma patient.

Purpose

The main goal of the P.A.R.T.Y. Program is to reduce trauma-related incidents by educating young people about the dangers of alcohol and drug use, and risky behaviours. 

Students receive an immersive experience as they follow the journey of a trauma patient — starting from pre-hospital care, through the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, State Major Trauma Unit and beyond. 

This realistic scenario helps them understand the true consequences of their choices. 

Research has shown that participating in the program leads to improved attitudes towards risk-taking, reduced injury rates, and longer periods of living injury-free.
