What Does a PARTY Mean to You?

Hanging out with friends, socializing drinking, drugs, dancing, eating, fighting, sex, vomiting? Sounds like a party? 
Our P.A.R.T.Y. is an acronym, which stands for Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth.

Now this may not seem like your definition of a party but we want to make the good times last by showing you how to make smart choices in your life. Then you'll get out of your teen years, and into your twenties, thirties...   P.A.R.T.Y. focuses on making smart choices. You are going to see some people who unfortunately made some pretty bad choices or who had someone make a bad choice for them and are now living with the consequences. And these are the ones who survived.

In Ft. Frances, Ontario, the Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.)  program is an in-hospital injury prevention program designed for youth  between the ages of 15-18 yrs. They are shown how their choices have consequences either good or bad. The program is run at Laverendrye General Hospital.The Fort Frances P.A.R.T.Y. program focuses on empowering youth to  formulate effective decision making and educate them to think about  injury prevention in their daily lives. Many community partners are  involved to show high school students what it would be like to be in a  car crash! Students practice hands on activities, educating them as to  what it is like to be an injured person.  Professionals that interact  with them are doctors, police, fire, paramedics, nurses, rehabilitation, diagnostic services and injury survivors. Each professional also  educates students in career opportunities.

The P.A.R.T.Y. program has been experienced annually by over 150 youth  the program has been running since 2002. It is self-sustainable with  significant in kind donations of time and resources. The theme is the  ripple effect meaning that the choices the youth are making not only  affects themselves but impacts may others. Youth empowerment and  education is the key aim. Youth assisting in presenting the program are  from the high school medical emergency first responders who have  volunteered to take 80 hours of medical training to respond to medical  emergencies in the high school. Fort Frances has the only Ontario high  school with this type of team. This training helps them to enter a  medical career and gives them the confidence and skills to take charge  in an emergency. This program has been running since 2002.

S.I.D.N.E.
Simulated Impaired Driving Experience (S.I.D.N.E.) is another youth empowerment education experience that involves our High School medical responder education their peers on the dangers and consequences of impaired driving.

The youth set up course and run a real driver controlled go-cart on a course which becomes especially challenging when the go-cart is put in distracted mode (every input by driver is delayed by 1 ½ seconds) which shows the driver the impact of driving distractions when they don’t focus.
The first responders also have developed their own personal educational messages for S.I.D.N.E. making this a more meaningful impact on other youth. This package is one of three only in Canada and has been used since 2010.It is available for rent which includes our team to run and set up.

On November 4th, the Township of Emo in conjunction with the North Western Health Unit is hosting a Family Safety Night.  This is an event that hopes to increase awareness of the various health, safety and community services available in Emo and the Rainy River District. 
As a service industry, I would like to extend an invitation to you to participate in the Emo Family Safety Night.  It will take place upstairs at the Emo Arena and run from 3:30-6:00 p.m.  Those who participate will have the opportunity to set up a booth where they can give community members information about the services they offer. 
Our hope is that this will be a fun and interactive family event, so the more creative you are with your booth, the better! 
If you would like to participate, or would like more information please feel free to email or call me at the below phone number.
