At YFCC, we are incredibly grateful to have the support of Her Excellency the Honourable Caroline Wells, Governor of Tasmania, as our Patron.

As an organisation, we are privileged to have the support of someone who has dedicated so much of her life to serving the Tasmanian community. Her Excellency's interest in the wellbeing of children, young people and families and her genuine appreciation of the role community organisations play, is something we value enormously.

Patronage is about much more than a title. It is about belief in an organisation's purpose and the people it serves. Knowing that Her Excellency stands behind the work of YFCC is both an honour and an encouragement to everyone involved in our organisation.

We extend our sincere thanks to Her Excellency for her ongoing encouragement and for the generosity she shows to organisations such as ours. We are proud to have her support and honoured that she chooses to stand alongside YFCC as we continue our work to create positive change in the lives of Tasmanians.

Every August 31, International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) brings a global community together to take action on overdose.

This year the theme for IOAD is 25 Years On. Still Needed.

For 25 years, International Overdose Awareness Day has brought people together to remember those we’ve lost and to take action to save lives.

Overdose continues to affect every community, yet it can be prevented.

We know how to reduce risk and keep people safe. By speaking openly, learning from one another, and treating each other with care and respect, we build a world where fewer lives are lost.

Because while this day is still needed, it doesn’t have to be forever.
