P.A.R.T.Y. Program

Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) is an interactive program for teenagers aged 14 years and over. 

Originally commencing in Toronto, Canada, the P.A.R.T.Y. Program is an evidenced based program, that has been running since 1986, and is now licenced to run in over 120 cities world-wide. The aim of the program is to promote injury prevention through reality education, promoting informed choices about activities and behaviours. The program incorporates a tour around the hospital, following the trauma patient’s journey.

A series of presentations is provided by hospital clinicians, and students participate in role-play activities to experience some of the difficulties injury survivors face. The day concludes with an interactive discussion with a spinal cord injury survivor.
