25.01.2022 Over the past 2 years, the Alcohol Tobacco and other Drugs Council (Tas) invited the community to fold cranes to commemorate International Overdose Awareness Day held annually on the 31st of August. 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. We're so pleased to have contributed to this project and to receive this beautiful poster to display in our office.

22.01.2022 "It’s awful to feel so alone. Looking back, it’s awful that I struggled for so long on my own. If you’re in a similar place, maybe it’s time to reach out. Reaching out is gonna be a little nerve wracking at the start. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be glad you did. Whether you pick up the phone or send an email, getting support from others who’ve been where you are right now, will make all the difference." Living with HIV and need to talk?
