Learn more about the Drug Education NetworkCommunity Online Drug Education (CODE) is a place for Tasmanians to find free, trustworthy resources and information about alcohol, nicotine, and other drugs.
The team at DEN understand that reliable, trustworthy information, relevant to you, your situation, or your loved-ones can be difficult to find on the internet. You can spend hours looking through Google search results and still not know the answers to your questions. We know how frustrating this can be when you are trying to find good information about alcohol, nicotine and other drugs, especially when you are looking for help, trying to stay safe, or want some assurance that the information you are reading is verified and accurate. That's why DEN has created CODE: to provide good, locally relevant, online alcohol and other drug information and educational resources. CODE aims to provide you with helpful information that is easily accessed, no matter the time of day or where you are.
CODE was launched on the 27th of June, 2022.
CODE will help you learn more about all sorts of topics related to alcohol, nicotine and other drugs. If you are interested in learning about how a vape works, this is the right place! If you are curious about how different types of drugs work in your body, you will find that here. If you are seeking safe partying tips and tricks for people of all ages, we have loads! If you are looking for help for yourself or a loved one, we can point you in the right direction.
