With Spring upon us, area high school students are experiencing an annual tradition and one of the school year’s highlights: Prom.
It’s an exciting time. But, along with all of the pomp and pageantry this time of year brings, it also brings concern for parents because inside that formal suit or dress is a kid still fully capable of demonstrating risky behaviors common among their teen peers.
Particular areas of concern are drinking and driving, texting while driving and non-use of seat belts. One intervention strategy designed to help teens steer from risky driving behaviors is Froedtert Hospital Trauma Center’s ‘Forever Changed’ mock crash program.
Take a closer look and explore whether teens at risk can be forever changed, for the better, inside this edition of CTSI Discovery Radio!
