Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) Program

Abuse / Neglect, Addictions / Substance Use, and Youth Services

Provided by Island Health

The program is a dynamic, interactive injury prevention program for teenagers. The students meet volunteers from various health care professions and crash survivors as they experience the pathway of a seriously injured patient, from the crash site through to rehabilitation.
The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is offered to grade 10 students at 10 sites across the Island Health region, who tour the hospital to learn about real-life physical trauma from those who witness it first-hand.

The students meet volunteers from various health care and related professions (such as BCAS and RCMP) and crash survivors as they experience the pathway of a seriously injured patient, from the crash site through to rehabilitation.

This reality education provides information to young people that will enable the participants to recognize potential injury-producing situations, to make informed choices and to adopt behaviours that minimize injury risk. The purpose of the program is to educate teens about what is safe, taking personal responsibility, and making smart choices.

Students learn that crashes are not accidents and that traumatic injury can be prevented. They learn the consequences of not wearing a seat belt, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, speeding, and distracted driving—consequences such as permanent brain or spinal cord injury, burns, paralysis and death.
