Shari Hinz, the executive director for Safe Communities Humboldt and Area, said the program has a message that’s important to get in front of local teens. “[We’re] just grateful that we can provide the program this year, even though it s a little bit different. Certainly in-person is optimal, but again, virtual is better than not having the program at all,” she said “We did it in segments simply because we can t have the students sit in front of a screen online all day for a full day like we normally would have them do in-person for the program.”
For the 16th year, Safe Communities Humboldt and Area will present their Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth (PARTY) program in the regio.

During the regular Grade 10 school year, students attend a P.A.R.T.Y. like no other, but due to COVID-19, this year’s P.A.R.T.Y. is a bit different.
P.A.R.T.Y. (Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth) is about prevention and awareness.
It’s a program coordinated by Island Health and offered to Grade 10 students across Vancouver Island.
Participants learn from police officers, paramedics, firefighters, emergency room doctors and nurses, forensic nurse examiners, and trauma survivors about what it is like to experience physical trauma.
