The Gateway Program is an exciting two-part diversion series designed to promote brain injury awareness and prevention among juveniles and young adults.  Created by the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts, The Gateway Program teaches young people to avoid risk-taking behavior and develop healthy living habits to prevent unintentional injury with the District Attorney’s offices of Middlesex, Norfolk, and Essex.

The curriculum focuses on the risks of underage drinking, alcohol and the teenage brain, marijuana and the teenage brain and the importance of safe driving. The most compelling portion is the personal testimony of a brain injury survivor, who speaks candidly about the impact of brain injury on their life.
