P.A.R.T.Y. is an acronym, which stands for "Preventing Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth". The PARTY Program wants youth to make "their good times last" by showing them how to make smart choices in their lives. The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is a field trip to the Victoria General Hospital where youth will attend a lecture from an Emergency Room Doctor; see a crash site; visit a trauma room; hear a brain injury survivor(s) talk about their experiences and visit the morgue. During the field trip, people will see some people who unfortunately made some pretty bad choices and are now living with the consequences. And these are the ones who survived. The stories are related to Trauma Related to Alcohol. Visit the Trauma Room now to get an overview of what will be seen during the field trip.
Target Audience: High Risk Youth Aged 14-18, New Drivers, Alcohol & Substance Abusers Who Drive.
P.A.R.T.Y. Program is a very gripping and powerful experience that will never be forgotten. The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is a field trip that isn't to be taken lightly. It is a program designed to shock people into making the right chioces and healthy choices in life, in particular youth.
