Online Help

CHAC's Online Help page connects you with trusted resources, including the Alcohol and Other Drugs Knowledge Centre and Yodel. These tools provide culturally safe information, guidance, and support for individuals, families, and communities seeking knowledge and pathways to wellbeing.

Resources

Alcohol and Other Drugs Knowledge Centre

The website provides the evidence base to reduce harmful AOD use in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

YODEL: Youth Online Drug Education Library

CHAC, together with Circular Head Youth, has developed, established and launched an educational online drug and alcohol resource library that can be accessed using a mobile phone, tablet, and desktop computer. YODEL gives you access to a collection of current drug and alcohol information sources, support services, self-help tools, and a fun interactive space. The interactive space is particularly popular as it contains interactive games, checklists, self-assessment tools, and challenges to improve mental fitness.

The harm-minimisation approach seeks to empower young people by giving them the tools to help educate and support their peers and the wider community, and to shed light on the link between drug and alcohol use, and poor mental health outcomes. YODEL is being promoted to the wider community via pamphlets, posters, fridge magnets and social media channels.

eSafety Program

The eSafety Commissioner is the world’s first government online safety regulator that aims to protect Australians from all forms of online harms through investigation, education and provision of online safety advice, programs and resources.

The project’s main objective is to increase awareness of technology-facilitated abuse, especially in the context of domestic and family violence.

In conjunction with the eSafety Commission, Circular Head Aboriginal Corporation (CHAC) is developing and rolling out culturally appropriate, place-based resources and training to address technologically-facilitated abuse as an extension of domestic and family violence. This will support CHAC and other frontline workers to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families to identify, report and protect themselves and their children from technology-facilitated abuse.

Technology
is a wonderful tool for keeping in touch with family and friends, for entertainment, online shopping, research and learning, working remotely, and seeking help from emergency and support services.
