In
conjunction with the Take Heart Program for Muskoka-Parry
Sound, a number of games were developed for youth groups.
These have been printed on cards.
Through training sessions, these cards are given to youth
club leaders who wish to use these games. The cards have
been collated and attached to a carabiner, for easy access
by leaders. The games cover the following topics: substance
abuse, injury prevention, nutrition, tobacco, physical activity.
They are intended specifically for youth ages 10-14. Most
of the activities involve physical activity or creative
thinking. For more details, contact the RISK program.

P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcohol Risk-Related
Trauma in Youth) Program
The P.A.R.T.Y. Program is a one-day, in-hospital, injury
awareness and prevention program for Grade 11 students in
Parry Sound. It was developed in 1986 at Sunnybrook Hospital,
and adapted to the needs of the Parry Sound community. The
objective is to reduce death and injury from alcohol, drug
and risk-related crashes and incidents. A program for Grades
7-8 in Muskoka is also underway in Bracebridge. For more
information on the original P.A.R.T.Y. program, visit: P.A.R.T.Y.
at Sunnybrook and Women's.

Mock Crash
In May 2004, the students from Almaguin High School got
a glimpse of what a real crash involving alcohol may look
like. It was so real that a number of people driving by
the school at the time of the accident called in to make
sure their kids were OK!
