Grade 11 and 12 students from Greater Sudbury high schools are learning to prevent alcohol and risk related trauma in youth, or P.A.R.T.Y., with the Sudbury Regional Hospital.

Students from Bishop Alexander Carter Catholic School with be among 1,000 others who take part in the interactive presentation about the risks associated with drugs and alcohol.

“It drives home the 'it could be me' message,” Steven Socransky, trauma program medical director at the hospital, said in a press release.

The seminar, which takes place today (May 12) at the Sudbury Regional Hospital, gives students the opportunity to see what happens to trauma victims from the time they get picked up by an ambulance until their rehabilitation is complete.

Trauma survivors will be on hand to speak with students, and share their experiences.
