MONROE -The Monroe Clinic is sponsoring presentations on Preventing Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth (P.A.R.T.Y.) at 12:47 p.m. and 1:49 p.m. on Wednesday, April 22, at the Monroe High School Performing Arts Center. Students will learn about the dangers of alcohol consumption and the consequences of poor decision-making - while being empowered to make informed, safe choices.

There will be two separate presentations for students, each 40 minutes in length including a student skit, presentations by trauma and emergency department surgeons, Green County emergency medical services, police officers, fire fighters, and a coroner. Mental health professionals from Monroe Clinic will be on hand for students and attendees to speak with.

To reinforce this message, a separate program for members of the community is planned between 7 and 8 p.m. Wednesday night. This program will include video highlights from the afternoon sessions and a panel of speakers to field questions from the audience.
