22.01.2022 Thank you to ATDC members Bethlehem House Tasmania for taking us on a tour of the 18 shipping containers that have transformed a garden into new independent #LivingPods! We met with a fantastic tour guide who welcomed us in to show us that these arent just shipping containers, they are warm, quiet, private and secure spaces. He generously shared with us how these living spaces (and the Beth House team) are making a positive impact on his life, and the lives of many other men... in Hobart. We also got a first look at a new social enterprise and solar heating solution prototype using recycled materials. Looking forward to seeing where this innovative idea leads in the future! Bethlehem Houses Open Day is part of Homelessness Week, see Shelter Tasmania for more info on other #HW2020 events in Tassie.

20.01.2022 Ted Noffs Foundation is lobbying Queensland politicians around alternatives to criminal interventions for young people with alcohol and other drug issues. "The idea is not this utopia where we get rid of jail and everything is decriminalised," Ted Noffs Foundation chief executive Matt Noffs said. When it comes to things like assault and robbery, we should never ever decriminalise those things, they need to be punished.... What Im arguing for, is that were able to treat the drugs the mental health issues. All of those things need to be treated separately and those young people need to be diverted." https://www.abc.net.au//calls-for-drug-rehabilita/12588392

18.01.2022 Thank you Tasmania. Last year for International Overdose Awareness Day we asked you to help us reach the goal of 1,000 origami cranes, to use folding a crane as a gentle way to start a conversation, break down any stigma, and remember those that may have sadly already been lost to overdose. We couldnt have imagined that by 31st of August 2020 we would have over 10,000 origami cranes folded by you in support of overdose awareness.... 10,000 images make up this mosaic, representing a total of 10,035 origami cranes (5,796 cranes folded in 2020 and 4,239 cranes folded in 2019). Each origami crane has been folded to remember those lost to overdose and to wish for a world free from overdose harm.

12.01.2022 What can we learn from tobacco campaigns to facilitate greater awareness in the public around this health issue? We do need to remember though that the majority of Australians do not drink at risky levels, despite the perception that we are a nation of heavy drinkers. There is about one fifth though of Australians that do put their health at risk, how do we reach those people?

08.01.2022 Anyone planning to catch this tonight? "Addiction is one of the most stigmatised of all health conditions. The accompanying shame and stigma can result in a delay of up to 20 years from when somebody starts developing a problem with alcohol, drugs or gambling before they seek help. That is far too long, and as a consequence many Australians and their families suffer in silence. We must come up with a better way of helping people. We’re hoping this treatment program will not o...nly help the ten participants, but also be a catalyst for systemic change. We stand with other agencies around the country who advocate for increased investment in treatment and support programs. It is simple, evidence based treatment is a proven, cost effective way for governments to tackle problems associated with drug use. Our members do this everyday and we have numerous stories of people who have turned their lives around. Watch it and let us know what you think!

Kyles first book The Bluffs has been Number 1 around the country in sales recently. He wrote it in 2016 and one of the characters is based on a client he had worked with on the north west coast. His portrayal of Tasmania was also very relatable. Its a great gripping read with alcohol and other dr...ugs portrayed in a nuanced and clever way interwoven with characters that are recognisable to our sector. Amazing! Congratulations Kyle!

01.01.2022 There are a lot of opinions about whether supplying children with alcohol (this includes giving them a sip as well) leads to good or bads outcomes for them in their adult life. Heres a study thats looked at this issue across time and in the Australian context. Parental supply of sips in one year was associated with increased risk of binge drinking and alcohol-related harms a year later, compared with no supply. As the quantity of alcohol supplied increased, so too did the risk of adverse outcomes, said Ms Aiken"
