A Different Kind of P.A.R.T.Y. – Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth
The P.A.R.T.Y. program is a one-day injury awareness and prevention program for students in grades 10-12. P.A.R.T.Y. was developed in 1986 at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and is a vital component of the growing community effort to prevent and reduce death and injury in alcohol-, drug- and risk-related incidents.
Mission:
An active life, injury free.
Vision:
Reducing the frequency and severity of youth injury.
Values:
CARE: Collaboration. Advocacy. Research. Education.
The P.A.R.T.Y. program is about prevention and awareness. It’s about learning from real people and their very real experiences. This P.A.R.T.Y. takes young people through the path of a trauma patient as they are rushed through the trauma room doors, into surgery, rehab and, if lucky enough, recovery. This P.A.R.T.Y. is about experiencing what happens when young people make a decision that changes their life forever.
P.A.R.T.Y. is based on the understanding that 90% of all injuries are both predictable and preventable. Students who participate in the P.A.R.T.Y. program leave knowing that they have the power to make the right choice!
