Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y Program)
Each week, two groups of Grade 9 students from Edmonton & area visit the Misericordia Community Hospital for a multi-media reality-education
event that makes the consequences of risk-taking activities very real. The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is about making 'SMART Choices' that save lives.
This full day in-house program consists of video presentations, experiential exercises and demonstrations by emergency room personnel, police officers and injury survivors. The professionals talk to students about their roles, experiences, and frustrations - the reality of trauma. The program also allows students to hear from injury-survivors who don't pull any punches - they just tell it as it is so students can understand the devastating consequences of risky choices.
From eating lunch as a quadriplegic to a profound interaction with injury survivors, students participate in this interactive program that drives home the message. Interested in learning more about the P.A.R.T.Y. program and/or are an Edmonton-area educator looking to have your students participate, click here to view the programs' official brochure.
